peepal tree, or a silver/golden idol of Lord Vishnu.

this house then the Mangal Dosha is no longer effective, as Mars is in its own house- Aries.

fast on this day should eat only toor daal (split pigeon daal).

dosha. Visit a Lord Hanuman temple and worship him on Tuesdays. Offer vermilion and sweets. Also light a ghee lamp
at the temple.
