Why Hanuman Puja is Performed on Kali Chaudas?

According to traditional belief, the night of Kali Chaudas is when evil energies and spirits are most active. Lord Hanuman, known for his immense power and unwavering devotion to Lord Rama, is worshipped to ward off evil, defeat fear, and restore balance and positivity.

Hanuman is also called Sankat Mochan, the remover of troubles. Devotees light diyas, recite the Hanuman Chalisa, and offer sindoor, oil, and laddoos to the deity, praying for safety, strength, and protection for their families.

Connection Between Hanuman Puja and Diwali

Another legend connects Hanuman Puja to the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. It is believed that Lord Rama was deeply moved by Hanuman’s devotion during the war against evil. Out of gratitude, Shri Rama blessed Hanuman, saying that he would be worshipped before Rama Himself.

Thus, on the eve of Diwali, which celebrates Lord Rama’s homecoming, devotees first perform Hanuman Puja to honor his loyalty and divine strength. This act symbolizes preparing oneself spiritually before welcoming the light of Diwali.
