===Hinduism=== In [[Hinduism]], Thursday is associated with the [[Navagraha]] [[Brihaspati]], whom devotees of this graha will fast pray and fast on Thursdays. The day is dedicated to the deity [[Vishnu]] or his [[avatar]]s, such as [[Rama]], [[Parshurama]], [[Narasimha]], [[Satyanarayana Puja|Satyanarayan]], and [[Buddha in Hinduism|Buddha]]. However, Wednesday is dedicated to his avatars of [[Krishna]] and [[Vithoba]]. Devotees usually fast on this day in honor of Vishnu and his avatars, especially [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnava]] Hindus.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://pujayagna.com/blogs/hindu-fasting-days/fasting-in-hinduism | title=Hindu Fasting }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.learnreligions.com/hindu-deities-rituals-for-week-1770073 | title=Weekly Rituals in the Practice of Hinduism }}</ref>
