Solution
A brighter and nearly aligned star with the axis of a rotating astronomical body is called the Pole Star. This star is koown for retaining its position in the sky.
We can locate the position of the Pole Star with the help of the constellation Saptarishi by drawing an imaginary line by joining the pointer stars of the Saptarishi and by extending further it will point to the Pole Star.
