Image Details:

Today 27th Feb'22 was amazing morning as Veus-Mars-Moon were in one frame. Venus was shining bright (at -4.27 magnitude) Mars was a red star (at 1.45 magnitude) and Moon at its waning crescent phase shining in the eastern sky (at -9.36 magnitude and 12% illuminated).
Venus is the devil god in Hindu mythology "Shukra", he was the guru of Daityas / Asuras, and is also referred to as Shukracharya or Asuracharya in various Hindu texts. Mars is the god of anger "Mangal". Moon known as Chandra, also known as Soma (Sanskrit: सोम), is the Hindu god of the Moon, and is associated with the night, plants and vegetation. He is one of the Navagraha (nine celestial bodies of Hinduism) and Dikpala (guardians of the directions).
These graha make days of the week, here graha simply means celestial bodies not planets as termed today, as we have 9 Grahas of which 2 are Rahu-Ketu, Rahu is solar eclipse and Ketu is lunar ecplise. Other 2 are Ravi and Chandra known as sun and moon respectively. Now left with 5 planets Mercury, Venus < Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Nmaes of the weeks are as follows -
Monday - सोमवार (sōmavāra) Moon
Tuesday - मंगळवार (maṅgaḷavāra) Mars
Wednesday - बुधवार (budhavāra) Mercury
Thursday - गुरुवार (guruvāra) Jupiter
Friday - शुक्रवार (śukravāra) Venus
Saturday - शनिवार (śanivāra) Saturn
Sunday - रविवार (ravivāra) Sun
