Every day of the week is dedicated to a different God in Hindu mythology. To honour these gods and goddesses, special rituals like prayer and fasting are undertaken. Each day is also linked to specific astrological planets, with a corresponding gemstone and colour.

Days of the Hindu calendar are named after the ancient solar system’s seven celestial bodies: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. So, if you want to worship all of God’s avatars and forms, below are the details for worshipping the deities according to the day of the week.
