hanuman is described in ramayana as a strong wise and devoted person. he is seen with rama, sita and laxman, humbly holding the feet of sri rama.in temples we see him holding gada(mace) in left and sanjivini mountain in his right hand. almost all the moorthy's are in sindoor colour, an orange shaded . there is a simple and a good story behind it.
once hanuman saw mata sita putting sindoor on her forehead. hanuman asked for the reason behind this. she said for the long life of husband. (it is our indian traditionthat married women put sindoor on their forehead ). hanuman thought, if a pinch of sindoor will give longivity of life to their husband ,then i will put more so that it will further increase the longivity. so he applied the sindoor through out his body. he went to Sri Ram darbar like that. everybody started laughing at him. after listening to the bhakti towards him, Sri ram gave him a boom that ON TUESDAYS WHO EVER OFFERS SINDOOR IN HANUMAN JI TEMPLE THEIR WISES WILL BE FULFILLED. since then it has become a tradition to offer sindoor to hanuman.
sindoor is mixed in til oil and applied to god . this is also called CHOLA CHADANA. people take back little sindoor from hanuman temple as prasad.
seek hanuman ji's blessings and be happy.

laddoo's to lord .hanuman
we offer laddoo's to lord hanuman. there is a very interesting story behind this.
With love and affection Mata Sita was serving laddoo's to Hanuman. The laddoo's were so delicious that hanuman did not feel like saying enough.he happily enjoyed eating them.
mata sita did not know what to do. so she put the left over laaddoo's on hanuman's head. when he saw that laddoo's are falling from head he thought he has over eaten the laddoo's that it started coming out from his head. hanuman said enough, he had consumed lots of laddoo's. with folded hands he thanked mata sita for giving such delicious sweet. that is why now also to make hanuman happy offerings are kept on the head of the hanuman and laddoo's are specially offered.
is it not interesting .

dattatreya jayanthi
margazhi poornima is celebraed as dattatraya jayanthi. people celebrate this for prosperity and happiness. he is the son of sage ATRI and PATHIVRATHA ANUSUYA.
he is also called as attriya as he is the son of atri .sage atri did tapas and lord visnu blessed him saying ' DATTO MAYAHAMITI YATH BHAGAVAN SA DATTA' meaning i give myself so i am called DATTA .(lord visnu gave himself to atri muni) .he took birth as atri's son, called DATTA. . datta and atri makes DATTATREYA.
sage atri's is known for tapas and his wife anusuya is known for the chastity.once muni naradh went to devlok and talked high about anusuya's chastity to brahmani, laxmi and parvathi, who are also known for their chastity.they got jelous of anusuya.they wanted to test her chastity. they requested their husband,brahma, visnu and shiva to do .
when atri went to the river to take bath early in the morning, brahma, visnu and shiva came like sage . anusuya washed their feet with water and offered seat and some fruits . sage said they wanted food as they are hungry. anusuya prepared food and when she was ready to serve , they instructed anusuya to serve food naked then only they will eat. this was a real test for anusuya when her husband was not there. , immediately she closed her eyes,thought about her husband and god sage atri. she understood the person behind this action and their intentions.
she opened her eyes and took a handful of water and sprinkled on all the three
sages,saying ,"if my chastity is pure, let all the three sages become six months old baby". immediately they turned as six months old baby, and started crying for milk. she took the babies and gave milk. all the three children started growing up in there .
In devlok, all the three devi's started worrying for their husband.they askd naradh muni and he told the story to them. they felt ashamed of their action and went to atri's kutir and requested for pardon and appreciated the chastity of anusuya. anusuya again took a handful of water and sprinkled on the children and they turned as brahma, visnu and shiva.They told anusuya to ask for a boom, she said i want all the three as my son. So dattatreya is the combination of all brahma visnu and shiva's powers. with three faces.
people worship dattatreya , atri muni and anusuya on this day.seek their blessings .
