In Hindu tradition, each day of the week is dedicated to various deities and has its own significance. Thursday, or Guruvara, is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the sustainer of the universe. It is considered extremely auspicious for marriage, happiness, and prosperity. On this day, women observe fasts and offer prayers to Lord Vishnu, seeking a suitable life partner and a blissful married life. Additionally, Thursday is believed to be particularly beneficial for those facing challenges in getting married, especially when the horoscope indicates weaknesses related to the planets Jupiter (Guru) and Venus (Shukra).
Here are some remedies and mantras believed to reduce the doshas (defects) in the horoscope and facilitate swift marriage:
Remedies for Swift Marriage

- Consumption of Jaggery (Gur): Although not directly mentioned in scriptures, jaggery is considered auspicious in Hindu culture. It is associated with the planet Venus (Shukra), which governs love and marriage. Consuming jaggery is believed to bring positive energy and happiness.
