Hanuman Puja: Why Is Hanuman Ji Always Covered in Sindoor? Know the Secret to Career Success

In our Sanatana tradition, we worship Hanuman Ji as a symbol of power, courage, and success. You'll see temples packed with devotees on Tuesdays and Saturdays, all offering sindoor. But why exactly is this done? Let's get into the story.

According to belief, one day Hanuman Ji saw Mata Sita applying sindoor in her hair parting. He curiously asked why she did it. Mata Sita explained that she applies it for Lord Ram's long life and well-being. Hearing this, Hanuman Ji got very emotional. He thought if a little sindoor could increase Lord Ram's life, then applying it all over his body would make his Lord live even longer! So, he covered his entire body with sindoor. When Lord Ram saw this, he was extremely pleased with Hanuman's devotion. Since then, it's believed that offering sindoor to Hanuman Ji makes him happy and he fulfils his devotees' wishes.
