'Ayana' means 'movement' in the Hindu calendar and refers to the sun's yearly movement, divided into two parts: Uttarayana, the six months when the sun moves northward, and Dakshinayana, the six months when it moves southward. The transition happens around Makara Sankranti (January 14) and Karka Sankranti (July 14), about three weeks after the solstices. The northward journey (Uttarayana) is considered more auspicious, though other factors can also determine the significance of a day.
