Chakora (Sanskrit: चकोर, romanized: Chakora) is a legendary bird described in Hindu mythology. It is considered to be a partridge,[1][2] most likely based on the chukar partridge.[3] In texts such as the Mṛcchakatika,[4] it is believed to feed on the beams of the moon (Chandra).[5] The association of the chakora and Chandra has given rise to a number of folk love stories in North India.
