Bhaumavāra (भौमवार) refers to “tuesday”, as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.14. Accordingly, “it is said that the respective merits of the different days [viz., Bhaumavāra, ‘tuesday’] are secured through the gratification of the gods. [...] The repetition of the mantras of the favourite deity accords the respective benefits of the day of the week. [...] For alleviating ailments the devotee shall worship Kāli and others on Tuesday (Bhaumavāra). He shall feed brahmins with an Āḍhaka (a measure) of cooked rice, the pulse, black gram and green gram”.
