    Overview

    Hanuman Puja for families in Cantonment

    Hanuman Puja is the worship of Lord Hanuman, the devoted servant of Shri Rama, revered for his strength, humility, courage and unwavering bhakti. He is also known as Bajrangbali, Pavanputra, Anjaneya and Sankat Mochan, the one who removes troubles.

    The Cantonment area is one of the greener, more spacious parts of Varanasi, close to Varanasi Junction railway station. Wide roads, older bungalows and several well-known hotels give it a calmer feel than the busy centre.

    मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।

    वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥

    Manojavaṁ mārutatulyavegaṁ jitendriyaṁ buddhimatāṁ variṣṭham, vātātmajaṁ vānarayūthamukhyaṁ śrīrāmadūtaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye.

    Swift as the mind and the wind, master of the senses, foremost among the wise, son of the Wind, leader of the vanaras, messenger of Sri Rama, in him I take refuge.Traditional Hanuman stuti

    Planning your puja in Cantonment

    Convenient for families arriving by train who want a puja soon after reaching Varanasi.
    Allow enough time to reach the ghats for sunrise rituals; roads are clear early but busier later.
    Hotel lawns or terraces can be requested for a havan, ask the property in advance.
    Parts of the area are under cantonment administration, so follow any local access rules.
    Good base for elderly family members who prefer a quieter stay.
