NEELANSHI MISHRA

Worshipping the Sun God 

The Sun is a symbol of energy, life, and light. Devotees offer arghya to thank Surya Dev for sustaining life on Earth. 

Role of Chhathi Maiya 

Chhathi Maiya, believed to be the sister of Surya Dev, blesses devotees with fertility, child well-being, and family harmony. 

Spiritual Significance of the Rituals 

Fasting, offering prayers at sunrise and sunset, and standing in water symbolize purity, gratitude, and surrender to divine energy.
