Once upon a time, there was a poor Brahmin who lived with his wife. They were very devoted and spiritual but struggled with poverty. One day, the Brahmin’s wife met a saint who advised her to observe the Mangalvar Vrat (Tuesday fast) and worship Lord Hanuman for relief from all hardships.

She began observing the fast every Tuesday with complete faith—taking a bath early, worshipping Hanumanji with red flowers, lighting a diya of ghee, and offering jaggery and gram (gur & chana). She listened to the Mangalvar Vrat Katha each week after completing her puja.

Impressed with her devotion, Lord Hanuman appeared in her dream and blessed the couple. Slowly, their life changed—they found prosperity, her husband got work, and their home filled with happiness. The couple continued the vrat regularly, living a peaceful and blessed life.

The story reminds us that fasting with faith and devotion, especially on Tuesdays, pleases Lord Hanuman, who removes obstacles, grants strength, and brings happiness.
