Thursday (Guruvar) is the day of Brihaspati, guru of the gods, and is devoted to Vishnu — and across India to Sai Baba of Shirdi. Yellow runs through the day: yellow clothes, chana dal, besan sweets. The Guruvar vrat is kept for wisdom, prosperity and a settled family life.

What to do today

  • Worship Vishnu with yellow flowers and chana dal; recite the Vishnu Aarti.
  • Visit a Sai Baba temple or read the Sai Chalisa.
  • Those keeping the vrat wear yellow and eat once.

Never miss a vrat or festival
