Ratha Saptami was observed on February 14, 2016. A special Puja to Lord Suryanarayana swamy seated on a sandalwood chariot was performed in the morning at Sri Narasimha Bharati Yagashala in the presence of the Ubhaya Jagadgurus. Earlier, a Surya Homa was also performed.

Sri Sannidhanam then proceeded to the temple of Sri Suryanarayanaswamy at Elmagge, near Narasimha Vanam. Sri Sannidhanam offered worship to the deity at the temple, set in a sylvan ambience at the banks of the river Tunga. Panchamrita Abhisheka was performed amidst chants of Vedic hymns to Lord Suryanarayana swamy. The hymns included the Maha-Saura Suktam from the Rig Veda.
