Frequently Asked Questions

What should be donated on Sunday for good luck?

Sunday is governed by Surya (the Sun). Items traditionally donated on this day include wheat, jaggery (gud), copper, red cloth, red sandalwood and ruby-coloured items. Such daan is offered to invoke the Sun’s grace for confidence, vitality, fame and the well-being of one’s father.

What is the best time to donate on Sunday?

Daan is traditionally offered after a morning bath and Surya Arghya (offering water to the Sun at sunrise). Giving to a needy person, a temple or a Brahmin in the first half of the day is considered most auspicious. Donating with a calm, selfless intention matters more than the quantity.

Why is Sunday donation linked to luck?

In Vedic astrology a strong Sun is associated with self-confidence, leadership and good fortune. Donating Surya-related items on his weekday is believed to strengthen the Sun’s positive influence in one’s chart and is undertaken as an act of dharma and gratitude.
