ARASAVALLI

The worship is as old as the Vedas and the most sacred Vedic verse, Gayatri, is also addressed to the Sun God.

Lord Narayana is often described as being seated in the midst of the disc of the Sun.

In later times, this worship was merged with the worship of Lord Vishnu and most of the images of Surya are practically identical with those of Vishnu except for some slight variation in symbolism.

In fact Lord Vishnu is also worshipped with the epithet of Suryanarayana, which is very significant.
