Ancient Beliefs: Why Tuesdays & Saturdays are Inauspicious for Nail Cutting

• Tuesday is dedicated to Lord Hanuman; cutting nails/hair is believed to diminish positive energy, as per Acharya Vinay Joshi.
• Saturday is Shani Dev's day; actions on this day impact life, and cutting nails/hair may displease Shani Dev, causing obstacles.
• Practical reasons include lack of electricity in ancient times, with specific days reserved for worship and rest.
• Acharya Vinay Joshi states each day is linked to a planet/deity, establishing these traditions for spiritual focus.
• These beliefs are followed by some as faith, by others as tradition, reflecting Indian cultural respect for customs.
