===Vishnu's/Buddha's/Dattatrey's Day=== In most of the [[languages of India]], the word for Thursday is ''Guruvāra'' – ''vāra'' meaning day and ''[[Guru]]'' being the [[style (manner of address)|style]] for [[Bṛhaspati]], guru to the gods and regent of the planet [[Jupiter]]. This day marks the worship of [[Vishnu]] and his [[avatar]]s such as [[Rama]], [[Satyanarayana Puja#Satyanarayana|Satyanarayana]]{{Broken anchor|date=2025-04-29|bot=User:Cewbot/log/20201008/configuration|target_link=Satyanarayana Puja#Satyanarayana|reason= The anchor (Satyanarayana) [[Special:Diff/1248007357|has been deleted]].|diff_id=1248007357}}, [[Parashurama]], [[Narasimha]], and [[Buddha in Hinduism|Buddha]] as well as the deity [[Dattatreya]] in [[Hinduism]].

In [[Thai language|Thai]], the word is ''Wan Pharuehatsabodi'', also in [[Old Javanese]] as ''Respati'' or in [[Balinese language|Balinese]] as ''Wraspati'' – referring to the Hindu deity Bṛhaspati, also associated with Jupiter. [[En (Illyrian god)|En]] was an old [[Illyrians|Illyrian]] deity and in his honor in the [[Albanian language]] Thursday is called "Enjte".<ref>Lurker, Manfred.
