1. *Ghorṇāgi*, or the warm-clothing festival, when the images are dressed in shawls and other thick and costly raiments. It is not an anniversary, nor is it held in much estimation. In Bengal the day is called *Aruṇa ṣaṣṭhī*, the 6th of the sun-god, and some women observe it as a day of fast for the welfare of their sons.
