Harvest season starts from today in South India and in that region. The symbolic significance of the ratha and the seven horses reigned to it is that it represents the seven colours of the rainbow. The seven horses are also said to represent the seven days of a week starting with Sunday, the day of Sun god Surya. The chariot has 12 wheels, which represents the 12 signs (each of 30 degrees) of the Zodiac (360 degrees) and constituting a full year, named Samvatsara. The Sun’s own house is Leo (Simha) and he moves from one house to the next every month and the total cycle takes 365 days to complete. The Ratha Saptami festival seeks the benevolent cosmic spread of energy and light from the Sun God. It marks the birth of Lord Sri Surya Narayana and called Surya Jayanthi!!

She attained perfection through meditation on Lord Sri Rama from very young age. She served many rishis in the ashram and when the rishis were about to leave the ashram, they told her Lord Sri Rama would come and visit her and hence advised her to stay in the ashram itself. She lived in the ashram alone for the long time. She used to collect flowers (lotuses and water lillies) and made malas every day and collects fruits every day, thinking that Lord Sri Rama would come to her hermitage every day. Lord Sri Rama and Sri Lakshmana came to Her ashramam when she was old and she had HIS darshan. Lord Sri Rama ate all the fruits tasted by Sabari (to check the Sweetness and to give Sweetest fruits to Lord Sri Rama). HE was so happy and accepted HER hospitality and said you can leave your body happily at your will. With Yogagni (sacrificial fire) raised from her body and her body was burnt into ashes immediately in front of Lord Sri Rama and She attained moksha and went to Sri Vaikuntam.
