This day is considered very auspicious for sun worship. Bhanu Saptami, which will fall during Adhikamas in the year 2026, has been said to have special religious significance.

7th or 8th June, when will Bhanu Saptami be celebrated?
According to Drik Panchang, Saptami Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Adhikamas will start on 7th June 2026 at 2.40 am and will end on 8th June 2026 at 3.24 am. However, in the Hindu calendar, the date of any fast and festival is determined on the basis of Udaya Tithi i.e. the date present at the time of sunrise. Since Saptami Tithi will remain at the time of sunrise on 7th June and this day is also Sunday, hence Bhanu Saptami of Adhikamas will be celebrated on 7th June 2026 only.
