When worshipping Lord Hanuman on Tuesday, it is best to wear red or yellow clothes as they are dear to Anjaneya, while wearing black or white clothes is considered inauspicious. Practitioners should also maintain a calm mind, abstain from non-vegetarian food and alcohol, observe celibacy, and follow a completely sattvic lifestyle.
Cleanse the worship room and install Hanuman's idol or photo in the northeast direction of the house. First remember Ganesha, light a mustard oil or ghee lamp while chanting specific mantras, and offer vermilion, red flowers, a garland of 21 betel leaves, and Tulasi leaves, alongside Naivedya offerings like bananas, laddus, jaggery, and roasted gram.
