As India prepares for Diwali 2025—the festival of lights that celebrates prosperity, renewal, and triumph of good over evil—devotees also gear up to observe Hanuman Puja, a ritual honoring Lord Hanuman’s strength, devotion, and protection. The confusion surrounding its date—October 19 or 20—has now been clarified by scholars. Hanuman Puja will be celebrated on Sunday, October 19, 2025, coinciding with Naraka Chaturdashi (Chhoti Diwali).
