Devotees often chant the "Hanuman Chalisa," a Hindu devotional hymn dedicated to Hanuman, seeking his blessings for protection, strength, and the removal of obstacles in their lives. The epithet "Sankat Haran Hanuman" underscores Hanuman's role as a protector and savior from troubles and adversities.
