What is Sundarkand Path?
Devotional recitation of Sundarkand from Goswami Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas, celebrating Hanuman's journey to Lanka, often sung with family on Tuesdays.
A Pandit can lead a complete Sundarkand Path at your home, guest house or a hall, with chaupais sung in the traditional style, Hanuman Chalisa before and after, and aarti at the close.
मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥
Why Families Choose Varanasi for Sundarkand Path
For many families, reciting Sundarkand in the city where the Ramcharitmanas was composed gives the path a special meaning. Hanuman bhakti is part of everyday life in Varanasi, and Tuesdays and Saturdays bring devotees to Hanuman temples across the city.
Varanasi also has a living tradition of Manas recitation, with Pandits and bhajan mandalis who sing the chaupais to familiar tunes. That makes it easy to arrange a path with harmonium and dholak if your family likes a musical recitation.

- PujaKarma is not affiliated with any temple. We arrange a Pandit for your own path at a venue you choose.

Sundarkand Path in Varanasi: FAQs
If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
Can a Sundarkand Path be arranged at my hotel in Varanasi?
Often, yes. It is a recitation with a small puja and aarti, so it suits a room or terrace. Check that your hotel allows singing and a diya, and we will arrange the Pandit.
Can the path be done at Sankat Mochan temple through PujaKarma?
No. PujaKarma is not affiliated with any temple. We help you book a Pandit for a Sundarkand Path at your home, hotel or another venue, and you can visit the temple for darshan separately.
Can the path be sung with music?
Yes. Many families in Varanasi prefer the chaupais sung with harmonium and dholak. Tell us when you enquire and we will confirm what can be arranged for your date.
