Monday: Moon and Soma

Rarely Moon in Telugu or Sanskrit is called "Soma" which refers to "Ambrosia" or Drink of the Gods. It was called so because the moon is considered the container for Soma from which the Gods drank from making it wane and wax (one interpretaion perhaps).

Moon is usually refered as "Chandra" the "bright and brilliant". Interestingly the characteristics of a Sun. So in a weird way you can call "Ravi" the Sun as "chandra" the Moon.
