Name: fixed, immovable — the pole star
Dhruva takes its name from the pole star, fixed in the sky while everything else appears to turn around it, and the Yoga inherits that same sense of permanence. It belongs to the auspicious group and is specifically prized for work whose whole point is to stay put.
Muhurta texts recommend Dhruva for laying foundations, planting, construction, and any undertaking meant to endure rather than to move quickly — installing something, establishing an institution, or beginning a commitment intended to outlast the moment it was made.
It is named for the pole star, which appears fixed while the sky turns around it. Muhurta texts carry that image directly into the Yoga's use — favouring foundations, construction and any commitment meant to endure rather than be temporary.
A Nitya Yoga is one of 27 periods based on the sum (not the difference, as with Tithi) of the Sun's and Moon's longitudes, each 13°20' wide. It is distinct from the special Muhurat Yogas also listed under /yogas (like Ravi Yoga or Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga) — those are formed by a combination of Tithi, Nakshatra, and Vaara, whereas a Nitya Yoga is one of the five ever-present core elements of the Panchang.
