Ratha saptami
People worship the sun in the early morning and recite the Surya Sahasranama.
Good actions done on this day give manifold results. People fasting on this day are said to attain knowledge and derive virtues. If widows fast on this day, they get rid of widowhood from the next birth onwards. Even the sin of slaying a person is expiated by the power of fasting on this day. He who takes a bath at the time of sunrise is purified like Mother Ganges. He can never become a poor man. This day is as powerful as Amavasai and several people offer Tharpanam to Ancestors
