Vrihaspativar Vrat, or Thursday fasting, is dedicated to Brihaspati, the Guru of Devas. Therefore Thurdsay is also known as Gurubar or Guruvar. Those people who believe in astrology offer pujas and observe a fast dedicated to Birhaspati, or Jupiter, for horoscope related reasons. Lord Vishnu is also worshipped on the day in many regions.
Please note that Thursday, especially in Margashirsh month (November - December) , is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi in many regions and people observe Lakshmi Vrat and pujas on all Thursdays in the month.
The fast begins on Thursday morning and ends on the next day morning. A single meal is eaten on the day – usually in the afternoon or after puja. People usually eat yellow colored food or food prepared using ghee. In some regions the food is made of Chana Dal.
Yellow color clothes are worn on the day and yellow colored flowers are offered to Brihaspati.
Yellow is the favorite color of Lord Vishnu and Brihaspati.
In the afternoon or before evening puja, people listen to the story of Vrihaspativar fasting, or Vrihaspativar Vrat Katha.
In some regions women worship banana tree or plantain and water it.

Hi i want complete story of brispathi (guru) please email me trinethrasrinu@yahoo.co.in
What do you do with the puja stuff. I make my thali with Chana Dal, Jaggery & haldi with Bananas. But Have no clue what to do with it afterwards?
Sapna..the thali after puja consists of prasad. You can consume it or ditribute it as prasad.
Thanks so much for prompt reply :)
Hello...if you break your fast in the afternoon can you have milk at night and tea in the evening?
So, if you have to consume that thali, you end up eating banana as well , right?
good question, so do you consume the puja banana ?
Yes you can eat all that is part of the puja thali -- all that is edible...
