This ritual holds deep cultural and spiritual significance and is performed at a water body, preferably a riverbank or a pond. Devotees start preparing for the Sandhya Arghya well in advance. They fast throughout the day and meticulously clean themselves and the surroundings in preparation for the evening ritual.

As the sun begins to set, devotees gather at the chosen water body. The evening puja involves offerings, including fruits, thekua (a traditional sweet dish), and sugarcane to the setting sun. The offerings are arranged on a bamboo basket or a tray, and the devotees stand in the water to perform the rituals. Devotees chant specific Vedic mantras and prayers dedicated to the Sun God during the Sandhya Arghya. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of reverence and devotion. The main ritual involves making offerings, known as Arghya, to the setting sun. Devotees cup their hands and offer water to the sun while facing west. This symbolizes the gratitude and respect for the life-giving energy of the sun. Here is a collection of messages you can download and share with all your loved ones to wish them on this day.
