Yes, women can touch hanumanji and all other gods just like men.
Hanumanji has touched many women.
Direction – can be kept in the east (facing the west, with back towards east). Face towards south or south-west is also fine but best to keep the idol facing west.
Two things here.
1) Any person facing South and lighting a lamp should not be done. Yamaraj stands ahead of all deities in the South, although Hanumanji (Mars) who went to Lanka rules South. Such namaskaram/ prayer is acceptable only to Yamaraj. Or in other words, any aradhana facing South – Yamaraj grabs it. Lighting Diya South is done only to invite Yamraj – where there is death in family.
2) Panchamukha Anjaneya – is considered as Parabrahman. Meaning he is now moola (root) of all devatas. Parabrahman are always kept in such a way that the person worships him facing towards east. Usually, abhaya anjaneya and other forms can face other directions.
Other learner members may please correct me, if they think otherwise.
Hi sir,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with detailed explanation.
I would request to kindly note that I have mentioned the idol to be facing west (best case), south, or southwest. Hence the devotee and the diya would be facing east (best case), north, or northeast in the respective cases. I apologise if my words communicated a different meaning.
Thank you.
I misread it. Apologies.
Hope it will be useful for others also as I reaffirmed it with some more detail.
Ladies can touch hanumanji.
But ladies should not apply sindoor and oil to hanumanji. They can light a diya. Becoz hanumanji is brahmachari.
Sindoor mixed with oil should not be applied. But oil alone can be applied.
