It happened on 23.9.2023, being Equinox* Day.
Sun setting down behind Padmanabha Swamy temple (Kerala, India, it is widely considered as the world’s richest Hindu temple) exposing its rays through the four windows of the Gopuram. Amazing to think the Gopuram was rebuilt 260 years ago with none of today’s technology available, and they got it perfectly aligned with the sun’s course.
*Equinox Day:
A solar equinox is a moment in time when the Sun crosses the Earth’s equator, which is to say, appears directly above the equator, rather than north or south of the equator. On the day of the equinox, the Sun appears to rise “due east” and set “due west”.
