In Indian culture or Sanatan culture, every day of the week is dedicated to some deity. Sunday is dedicated to Lord Surya, Monday to Lord Shiva, similarly Tuesday (Mangalwar) is dedicated to Lord Hanuman ji. Being the day of Hanuman ji, this day is considered a symbol of strength, courage, devotion and protection from troubles.
It is believed that the person who worships Hanuman ji regularly with devotion on Tuesday, fear, disease, debt are eliminated from his life.
But while there is a tradition of special worship and fasting on Tuesday, some works are also considered forbidden on this day. I remember how my grandmother used to tell me what should not be done on mangalwar, so let me share with you in this article the same knowledge that my grandmother gave me.
