According to Mahabharata, King Bhishma was given a chance to choose his time of death and day. So, Bhishma Pitamah waited for the sun to be placed correctly, i.e Uttarayana for his death. During this time, the sun starts to move towards the North direction before Uttarayan. 

In Hindu culture, the festival is regarded as highly auspicious. It is called Winter Solstice or say Uttarayana. The season of harvest is considered a seasonal observance and religious. As per the Hindu community, the day is dedicated to Surya.
