    Hanuman Chalisa Path in Varanasi

    Hanuman bhakti is everywhere in Varanasi, and the Sankat Mochan temple associated with Goswami Tulsidas is one of the most visited shrines in the city. Many families arrange a Hanuman Chalisa Path, often 11 or 108 recitations, during their stay.

    Why Varanasi

    Why families choose Varanasi for Hanuman Chalisa Path

    The Hanuman Chalisa was composed by Tulsidas, and reciting it in the city he is so closely linked with holds special meaning for devotees.

    Tuesday and Saturday evenings in Kashi carry a strong devotional atmosphere, and a home path fits into that rhythm. PujaKarma is not affiliated with any temple.
