In Hindu religion, each day of a week is dedicated to a particular God orGoddesses. Friday or Shukrawar is dedicated to Shakti – the Mother
Goddess in Hinduism – and Shukra or Venus. One of the most important
Vrat or Upvaas (fast) on the day is dedicated to Santhoshi Matha (an
incarnation of Shakti). The fasting is also known as ‘Solah Shukravar Vrats
because a devotee fasts for 16 consecutive Fridays. White color is given
importance on Friday.
Another deity that is propitiated on the day is Shukra, who is known to
provide joy and material wealth. The period of Shukra in one’s astrological
chart is considered to be most productive and luckily period.
Worship of Shakti – Durga, Kali and other forms – on Friday is considered
highly auspicious. Shakti temples in India attract large number of devotees
on this day. Devotees wear white colored dress on this day. The fasting on
Shukravar begins at sunrise and ends with sunset. The person fasting only
partakes in the evening meal. White colored food like kheer or milk is the
most preferred.
Fast is kept for various reasons which include removal of obstacles, for a
child, happy family life etc.
There are numerous stories associated with Shukravar. In almost all the
stories, Lord Shukra or Venus is dishonored in the beginning and the
devotee later realizes his/her folly through numerous untoward incidents.
Then the devotee realizes the mistake and propitiates Shukra and is finally
rewarded.
