Ratha Saptami, Sunday, Jan 25th
Lord Vishnu in his form as Surya (the Sun-God) is usually worshipped on this day. Usually, Rathasapthami begins in households with a purification bath (bathing is also done in a river or sea). Argyam (water held in the palms) is offered to the Sun God on this day while chanting hymns, Adityahridayam, are performed to the Sun God. In our temple we worship Lord Vishnu in the form of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha, on this special occasion. We do a procession on the Chariot with Seven Horses to symbolize this event.
