According to the Vedic lunar calendar, Bhanu Saptami will be observed on 20 April 2025. This sacred occasion falls on the Saptami Tithi of both Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha each month and is dedicated to the worship of Surya Dev, the Sun God. On this day, devotees take a holy bath in the early morning, perform rituals to honor the Sun, and engage in charitable giving.
As per astrological insights, this year’s Bhanu Saptami in the month of Vaishakh coincides with several auspicious planetary combinations. Worshiping Surya Dev during such favorable yogas is believed to grant spiritual merit, mental peace, and relief from physical and emotional suffering. Those seeking divine blessings, especially for progress in their professional lives, are encouraged to recite the 108 names of Surya Dev during their prayers.
