The Sauravrata is observed with the observance of fast on the seventh tithi. The vrata lasts for a year, and the Sun-god is worshipped with it. At the end of the vrata, the devotee donates a golden Lotus, cows along with a jar full of food, according to his capability.

It leads the worshipper to ūⲹǰ첹:
