Rules for performing Udayagami Arghya
- Before offering arghya to the rising sun, fasting women should go and stand by a pilgrim stream, pond or well.
- Before offering argya to the sun deity one should prostrate to him and pray to Chhati Maya with folded hands. The fasting women should then offer land to the sun god with devotion.
- While offering argya to the sun god tomorrow, offer argya facing east. Because the sun rises from the east.
- Be sure to use a copper vessel while giving land.
- Keep red flowers, Akshit, Kumkum etc. in a copper vessel while giving argya.
- When you offer surya arghya, just hold the copper pot with both hands and pour the water.
- After offering arghya, the fasting women should take a dip in the water and praise the Sun God. By doing this one gets the blessings of sun god as well as chathi maya. The blessings of both of them have special significance in this festival.
