Interesting Facts

• The Hanuman Chalisa, forty verses recited at almost every Hanuman puja, was composed by Tulsidas in Awadhi in the sixteenth century — not in Sanskrit.
• Hanuman is offered sindoor because of a well-known story in which he covered his whole body with it on learning that Sita applied it for Rama's long life.
• He is one of the chiranjivi, the figures the tradition holds to be still living, which is why his worship is addressed to a present protector rather than a remembered one.
• Tuesday and Saturday are both his days: Tuesday for Mars and strength, Saturday because of the tradition that he shields devotees from Shani's harshness.

Niyam — Observances

• Bathe early on Tuesday or Saturday and wear clean clothes, traditionally red or orange.
• Keep the day strictly vegetarian and avoid alcohol entirely.
• Recite the Hanuman Chalisa yourself at least once on the day of the puja.
• Practise brahmacharya (celibacy) for the day, as the tradition asks of Hanuman's devotees.
• Do not speak ill of anyone, including the person you feel is against you.
