The story revolves around Ravan, the demon king of Lanka, who had defeated all the devas and brought the nine planets under his control. He was also a great astrologer and had kept all the planets in a position favorable to his son Indrajit's birth. The devas were worried that if Indrajit was born in this position, he would become invincible. To prevent this, they asked the planets to move from their positions, but they were helpless as they were under Ravan's control. The story highlights the importance of worshipping Lord Hanuman on Saturdays to avoid the evil eye of Lord Shani. It also suggests that offering oil or tail to Lord Hanuman can protect one from Shani's evil eye. The story showcases the bravery and wisdom of Hanuman and his devotion to Lord Ram.
