Wake up during Brahma Muhurat (around 4–5 AM), take a holy bath, and wear clean or red-coloured clothes, as red is considered auspicious for Lord Hanuman.
Clean the altar or puja space, place a clean red cloth, and set an idol or picture of Lord Hanuman.
Decorate the area with flowers, incense sticks, and diyas. Apply sindoor and oil to the idol and offer red flowers, bananas, boondi laddoos, and betel leaves.
Light a diya and chant “Om Hanumate Namah” 108 times. Recite the Hanuman Chalisa, Bajrang Baan, and Sundar Kand from the Ramayana.
Do aarti using a ghee diya and ring the bell. If possible, visit a Hanuman temple and join the community aarti and bhajans.
Many devotees fast from sunrise to sunset, consuming only fruits or satvik food.
Offer boondi laddoos, jaggery, or chana as prasad. Feeding monkeys, cows, and the needy is a cherished form of service on this day.
