In Nepali culture, the shortest day of the year is Poush 15 whereas uttarayan (the movement of sun towards north) starts on Magh 1. Shouldn’t they be on the same day?
I mean, as the sun moves north, the days get longer since we are in the northern hemisphere. So shouldn’t the shortest day and start of uttarayan coincide?
