🪔 About Rath Saptami

Today is Suryadev's birthday; seeking his blessings on this sacred day removes the effects of seven types of sins committed across all lifetimes. A sincere devotee performs the Rath Saptami Snan (ritual bath) in a water body, at sunrise.

There is no better day to invite the rays of prosperity into your life. Anoint the life-giving Suryadev and feel your fortunes begin to change.
