Overview
Hanuman Puja for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥
Manojavaṁ mārutatulyavegaṁ jitendriyaṁ buddhimatāṁ variṣṭham, vātātmajaṁ vānarayūthamukhyaṁ śrīrāmadūtaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye.
Planning your puja in Rathyatra
The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
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.
