In Hindu mythology, there is an episode called Samudra Sagara Madanam. Surah (gods) and Asura (Lakshasas) have stirred the milky seas to extract the magical elixir that makes them immortal. In the process of this extraction, cows, goddess Lakshmi, moon (Chandra / Chanda), and many others appeared in front of Elixir.
The goddesses Lakshmi and Chandra came one after another, so they are considered brothers and sisters. Her mother's brother is a maternal uncle because she calls the goddess Lakshmi her mother, and in India her maternal uncle is called MAMA.
Indians consider the earth to be their mother. Because the moon is closest to the earth like sisters' brothers, the moon is considered a brother of the earth and is our maternal uncle, the mother.
