The mighty vanara, Lord Hanuman Ji, is the embodiment of strength, power, and wisdom for many. Devotees worship Lord Hanumanji, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays, which hold great spiritual significance.
Lord Hanuman Ji always protects and safeguards his devotees from negative things and influences. Additionally, a person can be protected from the evil eye by performing Lord Hanuman Ji’s puja.
Let’s dive into the significance of worshipping Lord Hanuman, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Why Tuesdays & Saturdays Are Considered For Hanuman Puja?
Mars rules Tuesday, which is a planet associated with energy, courage, and action. Lord Hanuman Ji is the ultimate warrior and protector of people and is believed to control the influence of Mars. Devotees seek his blessings to attain confidence, resolve anger, and overcome fears.
On Saturdays also, Lord Hanuman Puja is done. Saturn (Shani) governs this day, and Shani is the planet that is linked with Karma, discipline, and challenges. It’s believed that Lord Hanuman rescued Shani Dev and is therefore worshipped to mitigate the malefic effects of Shani. Doing Hanuman Puja on Saturdays helps bring relief and good luck and remove mental stress.
