In India, since ancient times, there have always been explanations about the sun's activities in the fields of astronomy, philosophy, religion, cultural traditions, and rituals. A brief study of these subjects proves the depth to which people have given meaning to these phenomena occurring in their everyday lives.
Aditya, the Sun in Indian thought, is a documentation of the influences of the Sun in the daily lives of the people in India and how they have perceived, understood, and explained these influences. This fascinating subject of documenting the sun has not been attempted before on these lines and will prove to be an awakening to the role played by this Supreme Force, which has been forgotten in many aspects.
An exhibition has been visualised to present this documentation to the general public. The presentation method attempts at the ‘experience’ approach in a manner that would involve the participation of the visitors. While this would by no means make understanding concepts simpler, it would also help me explore better ways of presenting information to a larger target audience.
