The Hanuman Chalisa is a Hindu devotional hymn (stotra) in praise of Hanuman.It was authored by Tulasidas Goswami in the Awadhi language, and is his best known text apart from the Ramcharitmanas. The word "chālīsā" is derived from "chālīs", which means the number forty in Hindi, as the Hanuman Chalisa has 40 verses (excluding the couplets at the beginning and at the end). Hanuman is a devotee of Shri Ram and one of the central characters in a well-known Hindu epic, the Ramayan. According to the Shaivite tradition, God Hanuman is also an incarnation of God Shiva.

The qualities of bhagawan Hanuman – his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Lord Rama and the many names by which he was known – are detailed in the Hanuman Chalisa. Recitation or chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa is a common religious practice. The Hanuman Chalisa is the most popular hymn in praise of Hanuman, and is recited by millions of Hindus every day.
