Overview

Sundarkand Path for families in Sarnath

Sundarkand Path is the recitation of Sundarkand, the fifth book of Goswami Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas, which describes Hanuman's leap across the ocean, his search for Sita in Lanka, his meeting with her in the Ashok Vatika and his return to Shri Rama with news of her. It is a chapter of courage, devotion and hope.

Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.

मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।

वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥

Planning Your Puja in Sarnath

Rituals are arranged at homes and hotels, not at the Buddhist heritage sites.
Allow extra travel time if you plan to reach the ghats in Varanasi for a sunrise ritual.
Newer houses in the area often have terraces or open space suitable for a small havan.
Hotels here may host international guests; confirm the property allows a puja before planning.
A full path usually takes about two and a half to three hours; tell us if you would like a musical recitation.
Share the names of the family members and the intention for the path when you enquire.

Yes. Besides a single Pandit, we can arrange a sangeetmay Sundarkand with a small mandali of singers and musicians on harmonium, dholak and manjira. Tell us the format and the number of guests when you enquire.
