The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40-verse hymn composed by Sant Tulsidas, dedicated to Shri Hanuman, who is known for his courage and devotion to Shri Rama. In this unique event, the Chalisa is chanted 108 times, a number signifying spiritual completeness and auspiciousness in the Hindu tradition.

Why 108? It is said to represent the wholeness of existence — 1 for the self, 0 for completeness, and 8 for eternity.

The Havan (fire ceremony) is an integral part of this event, intensifying the sanctity of the chants, transforming the experience into a purifying act of devotion, offering, and inner transformation and creating a powerful atmosphere of positive energy.
