Radhasaptami (Paramannam, Vundrallu)

Most Important Festival Once in a Year i.e on 25th Jan 2007

This is the main festival of Lord Surya Narayana Swamy, celebrated in the month of January in this year. It is a belief that our country goes into light from darkness from this day every year. The winter season ceases and spring season starts. Our bodies will have a chemical reaction with the sun rays and we become healthy. Mythologocally, it is said to be Sun god's birthday. Special rays and vibrations are supposed to be present in the temple premises and it is also said that devotees taking Teertha Prasadams will be blesses with wealth and health. Lord Surya Narayana Swamy has a chariot with one wheel and there are seven horses representing the seven colors of light that is VIBGYOR. Lord Rama worshipped Surya before killing Ravana.
