దక్షిణాయనం (Dakshinayana)

Overview

Dakshinayana is the six-month period when the Sun travels southward, from Karka Sankranti (mid-July) to Makara Sankranti (mid-January). It is considered the 'night of the gods.' While not inauspicious, some prefer to avoid major life events during this period.

ఆచరణలో అర్థం

Some families avoid scheduling weddings during Dakshinayana. However, many festivals like Navaratri, Diwali, and Dussehra fall during this period and are fully auspicious. The restriction is mainly traditional rather than strict.
