One serving of each food listed below, ±10% for the hand that cooks it. A scale check, not a target. Sixteen Fridays, and no sour food. A single-meal day dedicated to Santoshi Mata, with the well-known custom of setting aside sour and citrus food entirely for the duration.
डेटासेट जसे सांगतो तसे: Sunrise to the afternoon or evening meal.

What Shukravar Vrat (Santoshi Mata) is
The Santoshi Mata vrat is kept on sixteen consecutive Fridays, with gur-chana — jaggery and roasted chana — as the customary prasad. Its distinguishing rule is the avoidance of anything sour: lemon, tamarind, curd in some households, and citrus fruit.
That rule has one practical consequence worth naming. Nimbu pani and citrus are two of the easiest ways to make fluid intake pleasant during a fast, and both are off the table here, so plain water and milk do more of the work.
प्रथा वेगवेगळ्या असतात. The sour rule extends to different foods in different households, and whether it applies only to the person fasting or to the whole family for the day differs too.
ही नोंद कशी तयार केली आहे, आणि अन्नाची मोजणी कशी केली आहे
- The observance is read from published accounts of Shukravar Vrat (Santoshi Mata) and written as commonly observed — कधीही आवश्यक म्हणून नाही, कधीही बरोबर म्हणून नाही. जिथे कुटुंबांमध्ये फरक असतो, तिथे नोंद फरक असल्याचे सांगते.
- वरील कमान पाळला जाणारा कालावधी यांच्यादरम्यान दाखवते नावानिशी दिलेली स्थानके दिवसाचे टप्पे — सूर्योदय, माध्यान्ह, सूर्यास्त, चंद्रोदय — आणि कधीही ठराविक वेळांदरम्यान नाही. सेहरी, इफ्तार, चंद्रोदय आणि सूर्यास्त हे स्थानिक आणि धार्मिकदृष्ट्या महत्त्वाचे आहेत, आणि ही साइट त्यांपैकी एकही प्रकाशित करत नाही.
- कालावधी डेटासेट स्वतः जो पल्ला सांगतो त्यातून, पल्ला म्हणूनच घेतला आहे. जिथे कालावधी अक्षांश आणि ऋतूवर अवलंबून असतो, तिथे कालावधी छापलेलाच नाही.
- अन्नऊर्जा प्रत्येक पदार्थ प्रत्यक्षात ज्या प्रमाणात खाल्ला जातो त्या सर्व्हिंगनुसार दिली आहे — जिथे तक्त्यात तो पदार्थ आहे तिथे IFCT 2017 (ICMR–NIN) मधून, आणि जिथे नाही तिथे नाव दिलेल्या पर्यायी स्रोतातून.
- प्रत्येक बिल्डवेळी प्रत्येक पदार्थ Atwater घटकांशी ताळमेळ घालून तपासला जातो, आणि ताळमेळ न बसणारे पान प्रकाशित होत नाही.

आठवडा न बिघडवता हे कसे पाळायचे
हा भाग कोणीच नीट प्रकाशित करत नाही. यातले काहीही तुम्हाला व्रत बदलायला सांगत नाही — व्यायाम, झोप आणि जेवणाच्या वेळा हे तुमच्या हातातले घटक आहेत, उपवास नाही.
Training
Easy to train through — this is one of the lighter observances.
Sleep
Unaffected.
Blood sugar
Gur-chana is jaggery, and jaggery is sugar. Roasted chana alongside it moderates the response somewhat, but for anyone tracking glucose this is a sweet day rather than an empty one.
Hydration
Plain water and milk, since nimbu pani and citrus are set aside for the duration. Coconut water is a good non-sour option where custom permits.
The specific risk with Shukravar Vrat (Santoshi Mata)
Low.

Practices are described as commonly observed; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance. Fasting is not safe for everyone, particularly during pregnancy or with diabetes or other conditions. Speak to a doctor first.
