घरमा पूजा गर्न पूर्ण चरण-दर-चरण गाइड
समर्पित Lord Hanuman (Bajrangbali)
Bathe before sunrise and wear red or saffron clothes. Clean the puja area. Place the Hanuman idol on a chowki covered with red cloth, with Rama-Sita images behind or beside him.
Sit facing east or north. Hold water, akshat (unbroken rice), and a flower in your right palm. The Sankalp mantra below is pre-filled with today's panchang (tithi, nakshatra, samvat year, lunar month, and weekday) — only the bracketed cues marked [say "…"] remain for you to fill in: your city, your gotra, and your full name. Women replace गोत्रोत्पन्नः with गोत्रोत्पन्ना. Release the water, akshat, and flower onto a plate as you finish the mantra.
ॐ विष्णुर्विष्णुर्विष्णुः। श्रीमद्भगवतो महापुरुषस्य विष्णोराज्ञया प्रवर्तमानस्य अद्य ब्रह्मणो द्वितीये परार्धे श्वेतवाराहकल्पे वैवस्वतमन्वन्तरे कलियुगे प्रथमचरणे जम्बूद्वीपे भारतवर्षे भरतखण्डे आर्यावर्तान्तर्गते [say "your city name"] नगरे, विक्रम संवत्सरे 2084 (रौद्री) वत्सरे, वैशाख मासे, शुक्ल पक्षे, पूर्णिमा तिथौ, मङ्गलवासरे, चित्रा नक्षत्रे, [say "your gotra, e.g. Kashyapa"] गोत्रोत्पन्नः, [say "your full name"] नामाहम्, सकल दुरित क्षय पूर्वक सकल अभीष्ट सिद्ध्यर्थं श्री हनुमान प्रीत्यर्थं श्री हनुमान जयन्ती पूजनम् अहं करिष्ये।
The tithi, nakshatra, lunar month, weekday and samvat year in the mantra above are for Hanuman Jayanti Puja's upcoming date: २०२७ अप्रिल २०, मङ्गलबार. These values auto-update each year.
Worship Lord Ganesha briefly with durva and red flowers.
ॐ गं गणपतये नमः॥
Invoke Lord Hanuman by chanting his dhyana mantra. Visualise him seated at the feet of Lord Rama, his heart aflame with Ram's name.
ॐ आञ्जनेयाय विद्महे महाबलाय धीमहि। तन्नो हनुमत् प्रचोदयात्॥
Apply fresh sindoor mixed with jasmine oil to Hanuman's body — especially his chest, shoulders, and forehead. This is the most iconic Hanuman offering, recalling how Sita once applied sindoor for Rama's long life and Hanuman applied it all over his body for devotion.
Perform the sixteen upacharas — Asana, Padya, Arghya, Achamaniya, Snana (panchamrit), Vastra (red chola), Gandha (chandan), Akshat, Pushpa (red hibiscus, tulsi), Dhupa, Deepa, Naivedya (banana, laddoo), Tambula, Pradakshina, Namaskar.
ॐ हं हनुमते नमः॥ ॐ राम दूताय नमः॥
Recite the Hanuman Chalisa — the forty-verse hymn by Goswami Tulsidas. Ideally recite 7 or 11 or 108 times. Also recite the Bajrang Baan and the Hanuman Ashtak for protection from difficulties.
जय हनुमान ज्ञान गुन सागर। जय कपीस तिहुं लोक उजागर॥
Recite the Sundar Kand of the Tulsi Ramcharitmanas — the chapter describing Hanuman's leap to Lanka and meeting with Sita. This is considered the most auspicious path to Hanuman.
Perform the Hanuman Aarti with camphor — singing 'Aarti Kije Hanuman Lala Ki'. Ring the bell and conch. Circle the camphor clockwise before the deity.
आरती कीजै हनुमान लाला की। दुष्ट दलन रघुनाथ कला की॥
Offer a final pushpanjali of red flowers. Distribute the boondi laddoo, bananas, and other naivedya as prasad. Apply a tilak of sindoor (from Hanuman's feet) to all devotees. Donate to the needy — especially wrestlers, athletes, and the poor — in Hanuman's honour.
