Hanuman Puja in Varanasi
Hanuman devotion is part of daily life in Varanasi. The Sankat Mochan temple, associated with Goswami Tulsidas, draws large crowds every Tuesday and Saturday, and small Hanuman shrines stand at street corners across the city.
A Pandit can perform Hanuman Puja at your home, hotel or guest house with sindoor and chola offering, Hanuman Chalisa, Bajrang Baan or Sundarkand, and aarti.
मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥
Manojavaṁ mārutatulyavegaṁ jitendriyaṁ buddhimatāṁ variṣṭham, vātātmajaṁ vānarayūthamukhyaṁ śrīrāmadūtaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye.
Why Varanasi
Why families choose Varanasi for Hanuman Puja
Many families visiting Kashi like to keep a Hanuman Puja on a Tuesday or Saturday of their stay, often after darshan at Sankat Mochan.
Varanasi Pandits are steeped in the Ramcharitmanas tradition, so the puja can be extended with a full Sundarkand if your family wishes.

- Tuesdays and Saturdays are the most popular days; evenings book up first.
- Roads around Sankat Mochan and Lanka are crowded on those evenings.
- PujaKarma is not affiliated with any temple; the puja is at your venue.
