Sunday is devoted to Lord Surya, the Sun God, the symbol of life, energy, and brilliance. Observing a Sunday fast (Ravivar Vrat) is believed to bring vitality, prosperity, and success, while removing negative planetary influences. Those facing obstacles or weakened Sun placement in their birth chart are advised to worship Surya Dev with devotion and discipline on this sacred day.

Sunday Fasting Rituals And Puja Vidhi
Begin your fast before sunrise with a holy bath and wear clean red or white attire. Fill a copper vessel (tamra lota) with water mixed with red flowers, rice, roli, and a little jaggery. Offer this water as Arghya to the rising sun while chanting the mantra “Om Suryaya Namah”.
At your home altar, place an image or idol of Surya Dev on a red or yellow cloth. Offer red sandalwood, red flowers, incense, milk, and water. Perform the puja with complete devotion and recite the mantra “Om Ghrini Suryaya Namah” at least five malas for spiritual upliftment.
Rules And Fasting Procedure
After the puja, circumambulate (parikrama) the Surya idol and observe a simple, salt-free, sattvik meal once during the day. Avoid non-vegetarian food, alcohol, or anything tamasik. It is advised not to wear black or dark-coloured clothes, or cut hair or nails on this day.
Those who maintain calmness, avoid anger, and uphold positive thoughts during the fast attract the Sun’s divine grace. The Sunday fast should ideally continue for at least one year or 12 consecutive Sundays to experience its full spiritual and material benefits.
Divine Benefits Of Sunday Fasting
Performing the Sunday fast strengthens the Sun’s influence in one’s horoscope, bringing confidence, leadership, fame, and fortune. Devotees believe that Lord Surya blesses them with renewed energy, glowing health, and success in their endeavours.
This sacred practice not only balances planetary energies but also purifies the mind, helping one radiate inner light, just like the Sun itself.
