Arundhathi Darshana is the showing of the Saptha Rishi Mandala (star chain of the seven holy sages) and the small star Arundhathi underneath the star of Vashistha.

These seven sages and their families are the originators of the Vedic Lore of the Hindus. In memorial of these great sages, the seven stars in the Great Bear constellation are named after them. The significance of this ritual is to remind the couple of th Color e cosmic responsibilities they have to fulfill.

Darshan (the holy sight) of these Great Sages is intended to remind the couple the heritage they have to carry and the debt to the sages they have to pay.
