The term "Dhruv Star" refers to the North Star, also known as Polaris. Polaris is a prominent star located almost directly above the Earth's North Pole and is known for its relatively fixed position in the night sky. It has been historically significant for navigation purposes, as it can be used to determine the direction of true north. The name "Dhruv Star" is derived from Hindu mythology, where "Dhruva" refers to the steadfastness and immovability associated with Polaris.
