    Overview

    Hanuman Puja for families in Dashashwamedh Ghat

    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.

    Dashashwamedh Ghat is one of the best-known ghats in Varanasi and is widely associated with the grand evening Ganga Aarti. Its name is traditionally linked to a legend of Lord Brahma performing the Dashashwamedh yagna here.

    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 Dashashwamedh Ghat

    Vehicles usually cannot reach the ghat; expect to walk the last stretch through busy lanes from Godowlia.
    The evening aarti draws very large crowds, arrive early if you want to watch from the steps or a boat.
    Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major festival days bring exceptional crowds and traffic restrictions, so plan extra time.
    Early mornings are quieter and better suited for snan or riverside sankalp.
    Keep valuables secure and agree boat arrangements clearly before setting out.
    Keep sindoor, jasmine oil, red flowers, boondi or gud chana ready, or ask for samagri.
    Tell us if you want Sundarkand added, as it extends the timing.
