Sun dogs, or parhelia, are little back-up suns that appear on either side of the sun. They are the Pips to the sun's Gladys, the Lion and the Witch to the sun's Wardrobe, and they look way cooler than rainbows.
What is it that makes these parhelia possible? Only the most badass shape in the whole world: the hexagon. It's the geometric shape that rhymes with sex and means ‘an evil spell.' It's balanced, edgy.
There are some astonishing Temples in India where the Sun's Rays touch the Deity in the Sanctum on specific days or a certain period of Time in a day or the shadow of the God falls though out the day.
Arasavilli Temple Srikakulam Andhra on Suryanarayana Swamy(Sun )
Kolhapur Mahlakshmi Temple on fon Three days at Dusk.
And there are many in Tamil Nadu as well, Vaitheeswaran Koil,Nageswaarar Koil(Mayuram) Thayumanaar Koil(Tiruchi) to cite a few.
I have posted on Keezhsuryamoolai Temple where the shadow of the Lord falls throughout the day.
There is another temple, which is not well known a Siava Vishnu Kshetra where the Suns' rays fall on the idol of Lord Shiva on the 11 to 13 Avani Month -August 15 to September 15).
