Hanuman Puja Significance

Hanuman Puja holds great significance in India, especially for the devotees of Lord Hanuman. The Hanuman Puja is performed to seek the blessings of Lord Hanuman. It is said that devotees who perform this puja are blessed with strength, courage, and protection from negative forces. It is also believed to remove obstacles and bring success. In Hinduism, Hanuman is revered for his strength, courage, loyalty, and selfless service. He is often considered a symbol of devotion, humility, and dedication.

The day of Hanuman Puja is also observed as Hanuman Jayanti at Hanumangarhi temple in Ayodhya. According to a legend, Diwali is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana and completing fourteen years of exile. The devotion and dedication of Hanuman pleased Lord Rama so much that he blessed Hanuman that he (Hanuman) would be worshipped before him (Ram). Hence, people worship Lord Hanuman a day before Diwali celebrations.
