Ratha Saptami: Surya is usually worshiped on this occasion. Usually, Rathasapthami begins in households with a purification bath by holding a few bilva leaves on one's head while bathing and chanting a verse that is supposed to invoke the benevolence of the deity in all that one takes up the rest of the year. It also involves doing a puja with the ritual 'Naivedyam', flowers and fruits.
Navaratri: The seventh Day of the Navaratri Kalaratri Puja takes place.
