Today is maghi saptami. This days is being observed very religiouly in Mithila region including my village. the leaves of 'ber' is kept beneath the foot and 'Aak' is kept on head and by repeating 'airi bairi pair tar, shvshankr matha par', we take bath in nearby river, village pond or wherever we reach for taking bath.
i've no idea what this ritual does mean, but this auspicious day, in all over India, in the name of Achala Saptami or Saur Saptami or Rath Saptami, is celebrated in the honour Surya Bhagwan. I feel that this day also is on the line of prakriti worship by our purvaj, which is still prevalant and relevant.
