In our family, my grandfather used to do this Pooja. Others in the family also began to do it and I too joined in when I was a young boy. It is giving Phala Siddhi/ Karya Siddhi for the person who is sincerely seeking Lord Aanjaneya’s grace.
The painting is a visualization by Vinu, who was the artist for Kalki Magazine. Since the image is not available nowadays, I am uploading a scanned copy. Please contact me if it is a copyright issue. I will delete the picture from the website.
If someone wants a higher resolution scanned copy of the image for printing and performing the Puja, please write to me.
The painting has following Shlokas surrounding it:
आंजनेय मति पाटलाननं कांचनादि कमनीय विग्रहम् ।
पारिजात तरुमूलवासिनं भावयामि पवमान नंदनम् ॥१।।
यत्र यत्र रघुनाथकीर्तनं तत्र तत्र कृतमस्तकांजलिम् ।
बाष्पवारि परिपूर्ण लोचनं मारुतिं नमत राक्षसांतकम् ।।२।।
मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं
जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठ ।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं
श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये ।।३।।
Pooja Vidhi/ Instructions
- It is a 45-day Pooja. With each day, one Kumkum Bottu (Dot/Bindhi) is applied to the tail of Hanuman. Due to modern optimized society pressures, allowances are made to conduct the Pooja in multiples of 45. For e.g. 15 days x 3 Bottus, 9 days x 5 Bottus etc.
- God should face east.
- We should sit facing north.
- Chandan must be applied first on the forehead and then on the tail.
- After applying the Chandan, red Kumkum must be applied.
- Only the Kumkum and Chandan on forehead must be removed, the next day.
- Anyone in family can continue in case of discontinuity by the main person.
- On the last day, Vademale made of Urad, Pepper and Salt – 108/54/27/9 Vadas can be made. The thread must be made of jute.
- On the last day Naivedyam must also be offered– Banana, Coconut, Ghee, Jaggery

Final words
Though the book says that for Aachamanam that one has to offer water to the ground, it would probably make more sense to do Aachamanam proper. Also some of the shortcuts here are simply given, since people don’t get enough time. Ideally one would do the Pooja everyday for 45 days and give enough time each day for every aspect of the Pooja.
