Scorpio (Vrishchik) is a water sign of fixed nature — depth, determination and love of mystery are its hallmarks. Its lord is Mangal (Mars), so tradition recommends Mangal's mantras and the worship of Hanuman for people of Vrishchik rashi. Note — here rashi means the moon sign (janma rashi); confirm your sign from your birth chart, not from the first letter of your name.

🛕 Puja vidhi (step by step)
🧺 Items needed
Picture/idol of Hanuman ji
Sindoor and jasmine oil (for chola)
Red flowers (hibiscus/rose)
Red cloth or red asana
Ghee/sesame-oil lamp, incense
Bhog of jaggery-gram, boondi or besan laddoo
Tulsi leaves (on the bhog)
Water vessel, akshata
🪷 Procedure
Bathe and wear clean clothes; clean the puja place and spread a fresh cloth on the altar (chowki).
Do achamana (sip water three times) and purify hands and mouth; sit on an asana and calm the mind.
Light a lamp of ghee or sesame oil — by tradition the lamp is kept to the deity's right.
Take water, akshata (unbroken rice) and a flower in the right hand and make the sankalpa — your name, gotra, place, date and the purpose of the puja, spoken or in the mind; then let the water fall to the ground.
First remember Shri Ganesha (Om Gam Ganapataye Namah).
Remember Shri Ram and Sita along with Hanuman — Hanuman puja is considered complete only with Ram-bhakti.
Bathe the idol with water (sprinkle water on a picture), then offer sindoor with jasmine oil (the custom of 'chola' on Tuesday/Saturday).
Offer red flowers, akshata, incense and lamp; offer jaggery-gram or laddoo with a tulsi leaf.
Recite Hanuman Chalisa / Bajrang Baan / Sundarkand, then sing «Aarti Kijai Hanuman Lala Ki».
Finally perform aarti, offer pushpanjali (flowers) and do parikrama (or turn around in your place).
Ask forgiveness for any mistakes in the puja, distribute the prasad and take it yourself.
⚠️ Rules & precautions
On recitation days keep celibacy, sattvic food and avoid anger.
Avoid meat and alcohol — purity is valued highest in Hanuman worship.
By tradition women do not touch the idol or offer the chola, but everyone can recite, sing bhajans and do aarti.
During sutak/ashaucha, remember mentally instead of a formal puja.

❓ Frequently asked questions
What is the mantra for Vrishchik (Scorpio) rashi?
The simple mantra of the sign lord Mangal, «Om Am Angarakaya Namah», and the presiding deity's mantra «Om Ham Hanumate Namah» — both are given above with meaning.
Should the rashi be decided from the name letter or the birth chart?
In Jyotish the rashi is decided by the Moon's position at birth (the moon sign); name letters are only for naming. Find your moon sign with the calculator.
Should Scorpio people wear Red Coral?
Don't wear a gemstone just by looking at the sign — astrologers advise only after seeing the planet's position in the full kundali.
