In Hindu traditions, each day of the week is linked to a specific deity, planet, and energy. Consequently, certain spiritual and religious activities are believed to bring bad luck if performed on particular days. While these beliefs vary by region, many people continue to follow them as a way of honoring customs. Here are the activities to avoid on each day of the week:
Monday
Monday is associated with Lord Shiva and the Moon, which represents emotions, feelings, and intuition. On this day, you should be careful about wearing black-colored clothes, as it is considered inauspicious.
Tuesday
Tuesday is connected with Lord Hanuman and the planet Mars. On this day, one should avoid rash driving and refrain from getting involved in legal disputes, as these activities are believed to bring negative outcomes.
Wednesday
Wednesday is linked with Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, and the planet Mercury. On this day, avoid lending or borrowing money. Additionally, people should not insult transgenders, as it might bring bad luck in life.
Thursday
Thursday is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and associated with Guru Brihaspati (Jupiter). It is advised to avoid haircuts and beard trims on this day, as these activities may attract bad fortune. It is better to postpone them to another day.
Friday
Friday is associated with Goddess Lakshmi and linked with the planet Venus. Avoid donating gold, silver, money, or rice on this day, as these items are connected with prosperity. Be cautious before engaging in such activities.
Saturday
Saturday is connected with Lord Hanuman and linked with the planet Saturn (Shani Dev). People are advised to avoid buying iron, utensils, or sharp objects on this day, as these purchases are not considered auspicious.
Sunday
Sunday is associated with Lord Surya (the Sun God). On this day, one must avoid giving water to the Tulsi (basil) plant, as it is strictly prohibited.
