Bhanu Saptami is a sacred day dedicated to Surya, observed on the seventh (Saptami) tithi of the bright fortnight. Devotees worship the Sun God for health, vitality, and relief from ailments. Rituals often include early-morning holy baths, offering arghya (water) to the rising sun, reciting Aditya Hridayam, and keeping fasts. The day symbolizes light, discipline, and the life-giving energy of the sun. Shabari Jayanti commemorates the birth and devotion of Shabari, a revered devotee of Rama in the Ramayana. She is remembered for her pure bhakti—waiting years for Rama and offering him tasted berries to ensure they were sweet. The day highlights humility, unconditional love, patience, and the belief that sincere devotion transcends social barriers. #sun
