should recite it everyday. How to read it? -

finish your recitation.

not from women's), rice.
(5) Offer incense sticks and some flower, if it is of red color, it is better.

few seconds.

Hanumaan Chaaleesaa, 108 times, takes about 7-8 hours and Bajarang Baan,
108 times, takes some 1 or 1.5 hours less than that.

Barafee can also be offered.
