The Mythological Story of Suryaratham:
Suryaratham, the divine chariot of the Sun God, Surya, is said to be drawn by seven horses. Each horse is symbolic of a day of the week, and the chariot represents the powerful movement of the Sun across the sky. The horses are often depicted with colors representing the seven colors of the rainbow, and they are steered by Aruna, the charioteer.
One of the well-known stories involving Suryaratham is its connection to Sage Kashyapa, who had two wives, Aditi (the mother of the gods) and Diti. Aditi, through her immense devotion and penance, was blessed with Surya, who was born from her. Surya, the Sun God, was then granted a magnificent chariot, the Suryaratham, as a symbol of his dominance over the celestial sphere.
Another tale revolves around King Sagara, an ancient king whose story is told in the Ramayana. King Sagara performed a great Ashvamedha Yajna to assert his supremacy. During the Yajna, his horse wandered off and was captured by Indra (the King of the Heavens), who was afraid that Sagara’s sacrifice would make him too powerful.
To reclaim the horse, Sagara's descendants set off on a journey across the land, leading to the famous episode of the search for the sacrificial horse, which ultimately resulted in the creation of the Suryaratham in honor of Surya’s divine prowess.
• Made from eco-friendly paper mache, the Surya Ratham is both lightweight and sturdy, designed to last for generations.

This powerful image reflects the movement of the Sun, offering its blessings to devotees.

• In Tamil Nadu and Southern India, the Surya Ratham enjoys great reverence as part of the golu bommai collection, particularly during Navaratri and Dassara celebrations. The practice of setting up a golu display has deep historical roots, and this particular golu doll continues to be a cherished item, passed down through generations, embodying the cultural richness of the region.
