Significance of Hanuman Puja During Diwali

Hanuman Puja is performed a day before the main Diwali celebrations to:

  • Seek protection from bad spirits and negative energies during Kali Chaudas night.
  • Invoke strength, courage, and power from Lord Hanuman to overcome obstacles.
  • Honor the devotion of Hanuman to Lord Rama, who blessed Hanuman to be worshipped before Him.

According to legend, Diwali marks Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana and completing fourteen years of exile. Devotion and dedication of Hanuman pleased Shri Rama, making it customary to worship Lord Hanuman the day before Diwali.
