Astrologically, Ratha Saptami 2025 marks Surya Bhagwan’s transition towards the Northern Hemisphere, heralding the arrival of summer in southern India and the onset of the harvest season. It is a day to seek clarity, renewal, and divine blessings.
Sacred Rituals & Timings for Ratha Saptami 2025
In Ujjain (IST), the sunrise is at 07:09 AM, sunset at 06:12 PM, and moonrise at 10:55 AM. The most auspicious Snan Muhurta (holy bath time) falls between 05:33 AM and 07:09 AM. Bathing during this period is believed to cleanse past karmas, promote robust health, and grant spiritual upliftment, earning the day the name Arogya Saptami.
Devotees rise before dawn, take a sacred bath, and perform Arghyadan, offering water to the Sun while reciting Vedic mantras. Temples across India, particularly at Tirumala Tirupati Balaji, hold grand celebrations. Worshippers light a ghee deepak, draw intricate rangolis, and boil milk in a mud pot facing the Sun—a symbolic act of gratitude and prosperity. The sacred offering, Paramannam Bhoj, is prepared and dedicated to Surya Bhagwan. Reciting the Gayatri Mantra, Surya Sahasranama, or Adityahridayam further amplifies divine blessings.
