Answer» Uttarayan- Dakshinayan (i) Uttarayan: After 22 December, the Sunrise gradually shifts towards east. This continues till 21 June. It is the period between the makar Sankranti and karka Sankranti. Uttarayan means north movement. This is the six month period which indicates a semantic of the northward movement of the Sun on the celestial hemisphere. In this period days are bigger than night. (ii) Dakshinayan: The summer solstice occurs around 21 June. So, from 21 June, the Sunrise gradually shifts towards the south. This continues till 22 December. According to Indian Astronomy, in this period the Sunrise is said to be dakshinayan, moving towards the south. It is the period between karka Sankranti and Makar Sankranti.
