Rahu
In Hindu tradition, Rahu is a cut-off head of an asura, that swallows the sun causing eclipses. He is depicted in art as a serpent with no body riding a chariot drawn by eight black horses. Rahu is one of the navagrahas in Vedic astrology. The Rahu kala is considered inauspicious.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Rahu
