How to Worship Lord Hanuman at Home?

There are specific rules for performing Hanuman puja at home. For this, one can buy the puja items online to perform the puja with ease and perfection.  

Lord Hanuman is one of the most loved Gods in Hinduism. Hanuman Ji or Bajrangbali is believed to be the most powerful deities, mentioning or just uttering the name of whom is enough for driving away all the evil forces and negativities from life. The great devotee of Lord Rama, Hanuman was the son of Vayu devta and Anajana. He was the eleventh incarnation of Mahadev that is Lord Shiva.  While Lord Hanuman or Bajrangbali is mainly worshipped on Hanuman Jayanti, but he can prayed and remembered any time or on any day. There is no such rule that one can only worship him on any specific days. But the most preferable day to perform a Hanuman puja at home is Tuesday. And it is always suggested to do pooja samagri online shopping a few days before the day of worship.

Here are a couple of things needed for performing Hanuman puja with perfection at home. One can buy poojan kit exclusively designed for Hanuman puja or can buy the puja items online, separately.

• Idol or the photo frame of Lord Hanuman, which is one of the ideal puja gift items as well.
• A piece of red colored cloth
• Akshat or the unbroken raw rice
• Dhoop or incense sticks
• Basil leaves known as the tulsi leaves
• Flowers
• Earthen lamp or diya with ghee
• Sandalwood paste or powder
• Required amount of sacred water
• Roasted Chana with jaggery

Here Goes the Entire Vidhi to Perform Hanuman Puja:-

To begin with the puja at home, one needs to arrange for a high-rise stool and spread the red cloth piece on it. Then place the idol or the photo frame of the deity on it. Light the earthen lamp or the diya. All these should be done only when the place is purified or cleaned with holy water. Next, offer the fresh flowers to the deity. Before chanting the mantras, offer tulsi or basil leaves to the Lord and light up the incense sticks. Offer akshat along just after offering the flowers to Hanuman. And make sure to apply the tilak using the sandalwood powder or paste. Now, pray to the Lord and seek for his blessings along with chanting the Hanuman mantra, which is important in this puja. One needs to repeat the mantra one hundred and eight times as per the rule. Reading out the Hanuman Chalisa is believed to be extremely powerful and auspicious in this puja. Do the aarti next. And one thing that one should never forget to do is to worship Lord Rama at the same time as Hanuman is a great devotee of Rama and always wanted people to worship him as well. Finally, offer thee prasadam ( roasted chana with jaggery ) to the Lord. Distribute this prasadam among the devotees later on.
