AstroTwinzDamayanti Joshi is a dancer born in Mumbai (India).
Damayanti Joshi (5 September 1928 – 19 September 2004) was a noted renowned exponent of the Kathak dance form. She believed Kathak is the art of storytelling. She began in the 1930s dancing in Madame Menaka's troupe, which travelled to many parts of the world. She learnt Kathak from Sitaram Prasad of Jaipur Gharana and became an adept dancer at a very young age, and later trained under from Acchan Maharaj, Lacchu Maharaj and Shambhu Maharaj of Lucknow gharana, thus imbibing nuances from both the traditions. She became independent in the 1950s and achieved prominence in the 1960s, before turning into a guru at her dance school in Mumbai. She received the Padma Shri in 1970, the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for Dance in 1968, and had remained Director of the U.P. Kathak Kendra in Lucknow.

Birth details come from a recorded or documented source (source: Kundli Sangraha (Tendulkar)), so this chart is reliable to the day, though the birth time is not recorded.
Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa). Exact birth time is not publicly recorded, so noon local time was used. The Moon changes Nakshatra about once a day, so the Nakshatra and Ascendant shown may differ if the true birth time is different.
Our library holds 148 Bollywood personalities with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 16 of them (11%) have the Moon in Aquarius, like Damayanti Joshi, and 8 (5%) share the Shatabhisha Nakshatra — the #5 most common Moon Nakshatra among Bollywood personalities, where Swati leads with 10 (7%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
