 Gand Mool Nakshatra or Gandant  Nakshtara  

The six Nakshatras i.e. Mool, Jestha, Ashlesha , Revati , Ashavini and Magha are called Gand Mool Nakshatras . Out of these six Nakshtras, three Nakshatras - Mool , Jestha and Ashalesha are considered more inauspicious for the birth of a child. If a native has taken birth in any of these Nakshatras, Shantikarm is suggested on the day when the same Nakshatra repeats. 

Shantikarm can be done on the thirteenth day from the birth day or when the child attains eight years of his age or at any auspicious time. The Shantikarm removes all the evil effects of the Gand Mool Nakshatra.
