Shandilya (IAST: Śāṇḍilya, Sanskrit: शाण्डिल्य) was a Vedic Rishi and was the progenitor of the Śāṇḍilya gotra. The name derives from the Sanskrit words Śaṇ (roughly, Full), and Dilam (Moon), thus meaning Full Moon, therefore implying Śhāṇḍilya had great devotion towards the Moon God. His descendants have a matrilineal descent from the Chandravamsha.
