Origin & Story

Hindu devotional folk tradition · Unknown (folk composition) · Medieval period

The Hanuman Aarti is a beloved folk hymn that has been sung in Hindu homes and temples for centuries. It narrates key episodes from the Ramayana — Hanuman burning Lanka, bringing the Sanjeevani herb, killing Ahiravan in the underworld — making it both a prayer and a storytelling tradition. The final verse, promising Vaikuntha (heaven) to anyone who sings it, has made it one of the most popular aartis in North India.

✦ As told in scripture

The aarti references Hanuman's descent into Paataal (the underworld) to rescue Ram and Lakshman from the demon Ahiravan. Despite being in the realm of death itself, Hanuman's devotion was so powerful that he tore Ahiravan apart and brought Ram and Lakshman back to the living world — a miracle that demonstrates that no force, not even death, can stand against pure devotion.

How to Chant Hanuman Aarti

Repetitions1times

Best TimeTuesday and Saturday evenings, or any evening during worship

Light a diya (oil lamp) or camphor on a golden or steel plate. Stand or sit before a Hanuman idol or image. Sing the aarti while gently waving the lit plate in a clockwise circular motion before the deity. Ring a bell with the other hand. At the end, share the aarti flame with all present — each person waving their hands over the flame and touching their forehead.
