Ratha Saptami: Ratha Saptami is an important Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of Lord Surya, the Sun God. Observed on the seventh day (Saptami) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Magha, the occasion marks the symbolic northward movement of the Sun and is considered highly auspicious.
The day is also known as Magha Saptami and is closely associated with health, prosperity, and spiritual awakening.
In 2026, Ratha Saptami will be observed in January, with devotees performing early morning rituals, holy baths, and prayers to seek the blessings of the Sun God.
Ratha Saptami will be observed on Sunday, January 25, 2026.
Taking a ritual bath during the Snan Muhurat is believed to cleanse sins, promote good health, and invite divine energy into one’s life.
Ratha Saptami holds deep spiritual importance as it symbolises Lord Surya riding his chariot drawn by seven horses, representing the seven days of the week. Devotees offer water, prayers, and charity on this day, believing that worshipping the Sun God brings vitality, wisdom, and prosperity.
Many also engage in daan-punya (charitable acts) and share festive greetings, messages, and images with loved ones to mark the occasion.
