Tuesday (Mangalvar) belongs to Hanuman, and in many homes to Durga as well. It is the day for courage: the Hanuman Chalisa recited at dawn, sindoor offered at the temple, boondi as prasad. Those with Mangal dosha in their kundali particularly seek Hanuman's protection today.

What to do today

  • Recite the Hanuman Chalisa; visit a Hanuman temple.
  • Offer sindoor and boondi laddoos.
  • Many keep the Mangalvar vrat with a single evening meal.

Never miss a vrat or festival
