About Surya Gayatri
Among the most cherished prayers to Sun God Surya, Surya Gayatri (सूर्य गायत्री) stands as a powerful Vedic meditation mantra.

It is especially recommended on Sunday (Ravivar) and during Makar Sankranti, Ratha Saptami, and Chhath Puja for maximum spiritual benefit. The text contains 3 verses and takes around 2 minutes to recite, fitting conveniently into a daily spiritual routine.
