The tradition of offering water to the Sun God upon waking up in the morning has been practiced for centuries. This not only influences the planetary positions but also promotes good health and increases respect and honor. People whose horoscopes show a weak position of the Sun benefit greatly from this worship. While some people worship the Sun God daily, there is a special tradition of worshipping him on Sundays to receive his blessings. Some people also worship Lord Vishnu on Sundays because the Sun is considered an aspect of Lord Vishnu.
The Sun God is considered a visible deity. In fact, the movement of all planets depends on this planet. Offering water to the Sun and chanting mantras can help alleviate the troubles and sorrows in life. In the Vedas and Puranas, Lord Surya (the Sun God) is described as all-powerful. Sunday is considered a special day for worshipping the Sun God. If the worship is performed with proper rituals on this day, it leads to good health and increased respect and honor.

During the worship, chant the mantra “Om Adityaya Namah”. This can help overcome difficulties and problems in career and personal life.
Include red fruits and vermilion in the worship. Wearing red clothes on this day is considered auspicious.
There is also a tradition of fasting to attain happiness and prosperity in life. Fasting increases happiness in life.
Donation also holds special significance on this day. Additionally, helping people suffering from illness can also remove obstacles in life.
