Rātrī Sūktam

From the Ṛgveda, this hymn celebrates Ratri’s association with darkness, depicted as a nurturing aspect, where she provides rest and rejuvenation to all beings. Ratri’s symbolism goes beyond the physical night; she represents the cyclical nature of existence, where darkness precedes light, and rest precedes activity.
