Now we are ready to invoke the Sun God and offer Upachaaraas (reception with reverence). With folded hands, focus on the picture of the deity as you chant the following:
Om Sri Sooryanaaraayana swamine namaha
Om I salute the Sun God
Now offer a few grains of akshata with your right hand such that the grains fall on the picture gently as you chant:
Om Sri Sooryanaaraayana swamine namaha
aavaahanam samarpayaami
I offer an invocation to you
Offer akshata as before such that the grains fall on the altar as you chant:
Om Sri Sooryanaaraayana swamine namaha
aasanam samarpayaami
I offer a seat for you
