  1. Lucky Days

    Share Share Post
    People keep potatoes to sow on Good-Friday it is said that any seed which is sown on that day will never fail. Friday is a day that all people like to begin to plough or build houses. It is said that it is a lucky day. Saturday is an unlucky day.
    Monday and Thursday are the days which the people of this district take medicine to get cured of some diseases. If the people would not sow garlic on Good Friday it would not grow.
