The colours of Friday for the goddess: white, pink and red
Friday, Shukravar, is the day of Shukra, the planet Venus, whose colour in astrology is white, sometimes extended to pale pink and other light shades. It is also the day of the goddess. Lakshmi is worshipped on Fridays across south India, where women wear silk, often red or green, and draw fresh kolam at the door. In the north the Friday fast for Santoshi Mata became popular in the 1970s, and she is offered jaggery and roasted gram. So the answer to what colour Friday is depends on whom you ask: white, pink, red or green. This is the weekday where regional and family custom differ most.
