Hanuman Jayanti 2026: Step-By-Step Puja Vidhi To Worship Lord Hanuman On His Janmotsav

Step 1: Preparation For Puja

On the day of Hanuman Jayanti, wake up early in the morning, take a bath, and wear clean clothes. Keep your mind calm before beginning the worship. First, place the idol or picture of Lord Hanuman on a raised platform (Chowki) draped with a red cloth within your home shrine. Holding a small amount of water in your hand, take a solemn vow (Sankalp) to observe the fast or perform the worship. Meditate upon Lord Hanuman and pray to Him to accept your devotion. Remember that cleanliness and a pure mind are of paramount importance in the worship of Lord Hanuman.

Step 2: Abhishekam

Begin the worship by offering water to Lord Hanuman. If you possess a metal idol f Bajrangbali, you may perform abhishekam with Panchamrit. Thereafter, offer a mixture of Sindoor and jasmine oil to Lord Hanuman. This offering is extremely dear to Him. Subsequently, offer Him red flowers, specifically marigolds or hibiscus. Adorn Him with a sacred thread (Janeu) and offer a red garment. After applying the Tilak, offer Akshat to Bajrang Bali.

Step 3: Offer Bhog

The most important part of the worship is to offer Bhog to Lord Hanuman Ji. His most favourite dishes are Besan Laddoos, Boondi Laddoos, or Malai Rot. You can also offer Him bananas or seasonal fruits. The most important thing is to make sure that you include the Tulsi leaf while offering the Bhog, as Lord Hanuman Ji does not accept the food without the Tulsi leaf. Moreover, offering Paan Beeda is considered very auspicious. After the Bhog, you need to light the incense sticks as an offering to Hanuman Ji.

Step 4: Perform Aarti

During the worship, you may recite the Hanuman Chalisa or the Sunderkand. If you are short on time, reciting the Hanuman Chalisa at least seven times is considered highly meritorious and fruitful. Upon completing the recitation, perform the Aarti of Lord Hanuman using a ghee deepak. After the Aarti, seek forgiveness for your mistakes, and finally, distribute the Prasad to everyone.

Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti Lyrics

Aarti keeje Hanuman lala ki, Dusht dalan Raghunath kala ki.

Jake bal se girivar kanpe, Rog dosh jake nikat na jhanpe. Anjani putra maha baldayee, Santan ke prabhu sada sahayee.

De bheedira Raghunath pathaye, Lanka jaari Siya sudhi laye. Lanka so kot samudra si khaayee, Jaat pavansut baar na layee.

Lanka jaari asur sanhare, Siyaram ji ke kaaj sanvare. Lakshman murchit pade dharnime, Laaye sanjivan pran ubaare.

Paithipaataal tori yam-kaare, Ahiravan ke bhuja ukhade. Baaye bhuja asur dal maare, Dahine bhuja sant jan taare.

Sur nar muni jan aarti utare, Jai jai jai Hanuman uchare. Kanchan thaar kapoor lau chhayee, Aarti karat Anjana mayee.
