Weekday Based Upagrahas (Kalidasa)

 

In the Kalidasa system of Vedic astrology, which is a branch of Jaimini astrology, there are Upagrahas associated with each weekday. These Upagrahas are considered as shadowy or secondary planets that exert subtle influences on various aspects of life, similar to other Upagrahas found in different astrological systems.

Here are the weekday-based Upagrahas in the Kalidasa system:
