Hanuman Aarti is the traditional lamp-offering aarti sung at the close of every Hanuman puja. Devotees light a ghee diya, circle it clockwise before the deity while singing the verses together, and conclude by waving the flame in front of Hanuman's image or murti. The aarti completes the ritual cycle of welcoming, honouring, and bidding farewell to the deity, and is the moment families across India gather around the home mandir at the close of morning (6-8 AM) or evening (6-8 PM) puja. Hanuman's aarti is most auspiciously sung on Tuesday or Saturday. Read the full lyrics below in Devanagari (with optional transliteration) and watch the embedded recording to learn the traditional melody before chanting along.
आरती कीजै हनुमान लला की । दुष्ट दलन रघुनाथ कला की ॥ जाके बल से गिरवर काँपे । रोग-दोष जाके निकट न झाँके ॥ अंजनि पुत्र महा बलदाई । संतन के प्रभु सदा सहाई ॥ आरती कीजै हनुमान लला की ॥ दे वीरा रघुनाथ पठाए । लंका जारि सिया सुधि लाये ॥ लंका सो कोट समुद्र सी खाई । जात पवनसुत बार न लाई ॥ आरती कीजै हनुमान लला की ॥ जो हनुमानजी की आरती गावे । बसहिं बैकुंठ परम पद पावे ॥ आरती कीजै हनुमान लला की । दुष्ट दलन रघुनाथ कला की ॥
