A daily ritual of light, memory, auspicious time, and stars.
Day Special – December 23, 2025
Sun’s Movement:
The Sun continues its slow northward journey after the solstice, strengthening the promise of longer days in the northern hemisphere.
In English, this movement is called the northward movement of the Sun—from the Winter Solstice toward the Summer Solstice. In Marathi (India), it is known as “Uttarayan”, the ascent of light and renewal.
Uttarayan is not only an astronomical shift but a symbolic one: the movement from stillness to growth, from inwardness to outward radiance. It marks the subtle turning of the year’s wheel toward renewal.
