Hanuman Puja

Overview

What Is This Puja?

Hanuman Puja is one of the most widely performed household rites in North Indian families. Hanuman ji - the great devotee of Ram ji, the embodiment of strength, courage, and bhakti - is invoked as the household's protector and the remover of fear. The puja is observed on Tuesdays and Saturdays as recurring days, on Hanuman Jayanti as the annual observance, and during times when families seek strength against significant challenges. The ritual moves through purification, sankalp, invocation of Ganesh ji, the central pujan of Hanuman ji with the Shodashopachara, 11 paath of the Hanuman Chalisa, and the offering of sindoor (Hanuman ji's prescribed shringar) and boondi laddoo. At SiddhiStar, the puja is performed at home, or as an Online Puja with the pandit performing live from Narwar Dham while the family joins live from home. Your gotra and Kul Devata are recorded at booking. The base puja takes approximately two hours, with Hawan offered as an optional 30-minute add-on at the time of booking.
SiddhiStar Note
“In every North Indian household, Hanuman ji has a particular place. He is not invoked as a remote deity but as the one who shows up when called - the protective devotee whose strength is borrowed by the family in moments of fear. The recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa in the household evening is one of the most enduring devotional practices in the parampara. A formal Hanuman Puja amplifies that daily devotion into a complete rite.”

Ritual Flow

Understanding the sequence helps you participate meaningfully rather than merely observe.

Opening sequence

1

Pavitrikaran & Achaman

The family's primary member is purified with sacred water and three sips of achaman before the rite.

2

Tilak & Rakshabandhan

Tilak is applied and protective mauli tied on the right wrist of the yajman. For Hanuman Puja, sindoor tilak is preferred.

3

Dik Rakshan

Understanding the sequence helps you participate meaningfully rather than merely observe. The 11 paath of the Hanuman Chalisa is the central recitation; the Bajrang Baan is recited where the family wishes a protective emphasis.

SiddhiStar Samagri Policy
For Online Puja, the SiddhiStar Samagri Kit (Block 1) is included by default, as the pandit performs from Narwar Dham with the kit ready. For Ghar Par Puja, the kit is offered as an optional add-on at booking - the family may receive the kit at home before the puja date or arrange the Block 1 items themselves.

Important Note

The puja includes 11 paath of the Hanuman Chalisa as the central recitation. The formal offering of sindoor mixed with chameli oil to the Hanuman ji murti is a parampara-specific shringar step. For Ghar Par Puja, the family arranges the Hanuman ji murti, the Ram-Sita photo, the sindoor and chameli oil, the boondi laddoo and gud-chana, and the hawan kund (where the Hawan add-on is opted in).
