According to Sanatan Dharma scriptures, Sun God holds the leading position among the major deities. Before his origin the entire world was immersed in dense darkness. Many fasts and festivals to Sun God are mentioned in detail in Sanatan texts. Sunday is completely dedicated to Lord Sun. On this day, special worship and fasting is observed, due to which the Sun God is extremely pleased. There is a religious belief that the Sun God, pleased with the fasting and worship, bestows blessings of health and success in life. By his grace one gets relief from diseases and life becomes happy.
Along with worship and fasting on Sunday, some special measures are also taken for the happiness of children. It is believed that by following these measures, happiness comes home.
