Wednesday Puja

On Wednesdays in India, several pujas (rituals) are performed to worship different deities. Here are three main pujas performed on Wednesdays:

1. Ganesh Puja: Devotees perform Ganesh Puja by offering prayers, reciting mantras, and offering sweets, fruits, and flowers to seek his blessings for wisdom, intelligence, and success in endeavours.

2. Vishnu Puja: Devotees perform Vishnu Puja, which involves chanting Vishnu mantras, offering prayers, and presenting flowers, incense, and fruits to seek his blessings for peace, harmony, and protection.

3. Budh Puja: Wednesday is associated with the planet Mercury (Budh in Hindi), and hence, Budh Puja is performed on this day to appease and seek the positive influence of Mercury. It involves offering prayers, lighting lamps, and reciting mantras associated with Budh to mitigate any negative effects and gain favourable outcomes.
