TuesdayTuesday fasts are either observed for Lord Hanuman
or for Planet Mars called Mangal in Hindi. This fast is observed by
people to alleviate the problems from their life as they pray to Lord
Hanuman, who is also known as Sankat Mochan (the Problem Solver).
However, some communities might be worshipping other deities on Tuesday.
For example, in South India the day is dedicated to Skanda or Murugan
or Kartikeya (Kartik).
