आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

In Hindu astrology (jyotisha), a planet
associated with activity, war, and misfortune. Due to these associations, Mars
is considered a strong yet malignant
planetary force. Tuesday, the day of the
week ruled by Mars, is considered an
inauspicious day, a day on which people
often perform rites of protection to
safeguard themselves from Mars’s baleful influence.
