The Rig Veda describes
sunrise in a splendid form...
Night has not yet ended
preparations in full swing
for Father Sun's arrival
His twin sons
Ashiwini Kumars in action
riding on horse back
welcomes Usha Devi
the Goddess of morning
sky born with brilliance
ambience full of elegance
Sun rising in the east
the divine celebration starts
plants and animals
able to see each other
with the birth of light
Day begins...
With the rotation of earth
day slowly ends
sunlight fades out
Sandhya Devi
the Goddess of evening
slowly descends down
the valedictory function starts..
sunset in the offing
sky filled with darkness
Night starts...
the rituals continue
since time immemorial
if dawn is lovely
so is the dusk
day and night
all are beautiful
the divine miracle
witnessed by all living beings
everything auspicious
every moment auspicious
perceive the beauty of time
through day and night.
