The constellation Capricorn, or makara, names an auspicious day dedicated primarily to this deity that Gujaratis celebrate with thousands of flying kites. This god and his sister are honored by the ritual of kosi bharai, in which women weave small mandapas composed of seven pieces of sugarcane as part of the four-day-long festivities of Chhath Puja. This god’s jayanti is celebrated on the seventh day of (-5[1])the bright half of Magha, which marks the day he turns north with his spoked chariot drawn by seven horses. That chariot of this god inspired the design of an ancient temple located in the town of Konark. Tamils celebrate this deity by boiling rice with milk during the festival of Pongal. (-5[1])Both Yama and Yamuna were born to this god and his wife, Chhaya. For 10 points, name this Hindu god of the sun. (10[2]0[1])■END■
