Grandmother’s care: Thursday is considered a very auspicious day in Sanatan Dharma. This day is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Devguru Brihaspati. Many people also keep fast on Thursday. Many rules related to Thursday have been mentioned in the scriptures, which are followed even today.

On Thursday, tasks like washing hair, cutting hair, beard and nails, washing clothes, mopping the house, cleaning cobwebs, eating non-vegetarian food etc. are considered prohibited. Besides, there is also a belief of not eating Khichdi on this day. Therefore, on Thursday the elders or grandmothers of the house refuse to eat Khichdi.

These words of your grandmothers may seem strange or even a myth to you for some time. But its reason and the harm caused by it have been explained in the scriptures. If you follow the advice given by your grandmothers, you will remain happy and will be saved from inauspicious incidents in future. Let us know why grandmothers refuse to eat Khichdi on Thursday.

Why Khichdi should not be eaten on Thursday

Special care should be taken regarding food on Thursday. Khichdi is one of the prohibited things on Thursday. This is because many people cook Khichdi by adding black lentils, which is not auspicious. At the same time, eating khichdi with yellow lentils on Thursday weakens the planet Jupiter in the horoscope. When Jupiter becomes weak, the financial condition also becomes weak and happiness and peace starts decreasing.

Along with Khichdi, eating banana is also prohibited on Thursday. Because banana is offered to Lord Vishnu in worship. However, there is no scientific basis for these beliefs. But these beliefs of Hindu religion are prevalent even today.
