Sunday Fasting: Pooja, Rules, Katha To Significance: All You Need To Know

Sunday is one day when we get off from work and can pay attention to other aspects of our lives. Religious souls who believe in fasting can observe a Sunday fast without feeling drained. This day is dedicated to Lord Surya or Sun God. Those who have a weak positioning of the sun in their kundlis as per astrology are more inclined towards keeping a fast on Sunday. So here is how you must keep the fast along with its benefits.
