Origin & History

Source: Hindu devotional folk tradition

Author: Unknown (folk composition)

Period: 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.
