Hindu tradition considers Wednesday as the days owned by Lord Ganesha and the planet Mercury. Hence, there are a lot of devotees who offer particular poojas on this day to obtain blessings and get rid of the evils in their life or to seek improvements in different aspects of their life.
Ganesh Pooja
Out of all the poojas performed on Wednesday, the Ganesh pooja is perhaps the most popular. People pray and present modak, flowers, agarbatti and lamps to the deity. They sing and recite prayer songs called Bhakti music with lyrical contents in honor of the lord Ganesha.
Buddha Graha Pooja
Another important Worshiping done in Wednesday is Budha Graha pooja, which is performed to Lord Mercury. It is said that performing this pooja will help in improving the eloquence of speech, increase the intelligence level as well as help in the successful running of the business. The natives usually bring green products like green dresses or emeralds for the goddess, but the basic offerings given to any deity, like flowers and incense, are also placed.
Many devotees offer pooja to lord Saraswathi on Wednesdays. Saraswati idol is being worshipped to enhance the textual and graphic abilities and other finer skills. In this pooja, white flowers, fruits, and books are offered to the goddess.
The Vrat Savitri Pooja
If people want to maintain love and affection with their partners, the Vrat Savitri pooja is occasionally performed on Wednesdays. Married women fast and pray especially for the health and longevity of their husbands by referring to the story of Savitri- the wife who saved her husband from death.
The Skanda Sashti pooja is celebrated on many Wednesdays in South India to Lord Murugan also known as Kartikeya. This is thought to attract success, and courage and shield one from anything that is undesirable in one's life.
Thus the poojas performed on this particular Wednesday are regarded as holy and optimistic and are deemed to liberate the soul from the bondages of problems and shower favours upon the devotees. The particular mechanics of the practices may differ, depending on the region or the family, however, the essence of worship and the request for the blessing is about the same.
