Hanuman
also known as Bajrangbali, Anjaneya and Maruti
Hanuman is turned to for courage, protection, and freedom from fear. Many keep Tuesdays for him — Mangalwar — a tradition to lean on, never a rule.
mantras for Hanuman
ॐ हं हनुमते नमः
Om Han Hanumate Namah
जय श्री राम
the story tradition tells
Devotees read the Hanuman Chalisa and offer sindoor and boondi, asking for the strength to face what is hard. His is a strength that kneels — every power he carries is in service of Rama, and tradition holds that where his name is spoken, fear loosens its grip.
if you keep a vrat
Some keep a Tuesday fast broken after evening prayers with a simple sattvic meal; many keep no fast and read the Chalisa instead. Both are honoured practice — choose the form that fits your day.
festivals that honour Hanuman
meet Hanuman every morning
In the Sankalp app, your morning can open with a darshan of the deity you choose — a painterly portrait, a mantra, a moment before the feed. Tradition suggests; you decide.
