Bhaum Pradosh 2026: The Bhaum Pradosh fast is being observed today, September 8, 2026. It is called 'Bhaum Pradosh' because it falls on a Tuesday. On this day, both Lord Shiva and Lord Hanuman are worshipped. According to religious beliefs, specific rituals performed on this day can help seek relief from debt, as well as issues related to employment, business, and finances.

Perform these special rituals on Bhaum Pradosh:

For harmony in married life: There is a tradition of drawing a 'Swastika' on a dry coconut using vermilion (sindoor) and jasmine oil, and then offering it at the feet of Lord Hanuman.

For positive energy: After bathing in the morning, pay obeisance to Lord Hanuman and recite the Hanuman Chalisa with devotion. It is believed that this boosts self-confidence and positivity.

For stability in business: It is customary to worship and wear a 'Teen Mukhi' (three-faced) Rudraksha on Bhaum Pradosh.

To seek freedom from debt: Sit on a prayer mat and recite the 'Rin-Mochan Mangal Stotra' 11 times.

To avoid financial troubles: Light a ghee lamp at a Hanuman temple in the evening. Offer 'Boondi' (sweet gram flour droplets) to Lord Hanuman and recite the Hanuman Chalisa.

To recover stuck money: Offer jaggery and roasted gram (chana) to Lord Hanuman and chant the Mangal mantra—' Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaay Namah'—11 times.

To improve relationships with an elder brother: It is believed that installing and worshipping a 'Mangal Yantra' helps. It is best to learn the correct method of chanting the mantra from an expert.

For success in a job: Offer honey at a Hanuman temple and pray for the removal of obstacles hindering your career.

For success in tasks: There is a tradition of distributing sweet rotis (flatbreads) to the needy.
