Yes, the Vedic Lunar Deity Soma. Full moon is the time to collect and press the divine drink. The moon is also the cup from which the gods drink Soma, and so Soma became again identified with the moon god Chandra. He is connected with dew, and as such, is one of the gods of fertility.

Soma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chandra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. (Isa 18:4)
And additional reference identifying the "herbs" as Soma/Chandra, it seems.
