    Overview

    Hanuman Puja for families in Durgakund

    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.

    Durgakund takes its name from the historic Durga temple and the large water tank, or kund, beside it. The area sits in south Varanasi between Bhelupur and Lanka, along the road that leads towards the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple, and it has long been one of the most devotional parts of Kashi.

    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 Durgakund

    Roads around the temple become very crowded during Navratri, so plan early-morning pujas and allow extra travel time.
    Book Pandits well ahead for Durga Saptashati path during Navratri, as demand is high across the city.
    Flower and samagri stalls near the temple make last-minute items easy to find.
    Guest houses may not allow a havan indoors; ask about a terrace before planning a fire ritual.
    Tuesdays and Saturdays bring extra traffic on the Sankat Mochan road.
    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.
