The sun deity, source of all light and life, giver of health and vitality. He rides a chariot pulled by seven horses. The Gayatri Mantra is addressed to him as Savitr. Chhath Puja and Ratha Saptami are his major festivals. Surya Namaskar (sun salutation) in yoga is dedicated to him.
Worship of Lord Surya — Puja, Vrat & Offerings
Daily worship of the deity need not be elaborate — a lit lamp, a few flowers, and a sincere prayer offered each morning create a sacred rhythm in the home. Learn the deity’s special day of the week and observe it with a simple fast or extra recitation. On festival days, visit the temple, participate in the aarti, and share prasad with family and neighbours. What matters most in the Hindu tradition is bhava — the feeling of devotion behind the offering.
