Saptawara
The term "Saptawara" refers to the seven-day week in the Indian calendar system. Each day is associated with a specific celestial body and has its own significance in various cultures. The names of the days are derived from the planets and deities, reflecting the influence of astrology and mythology in daily life.
In the Saptawara, the days are named as follows: Sunday (Ravivaar), Monday (Somvaar), Tuesday (Mangalvaar), Wednesday (Budhvaar), Thursday (Guruvaar), Friday (Shukravaar), and Saturday (Shanivaar). This structure helps people organize their time and activities, making it an essential aspect of social and religious practices in India.
