Hanuman Chalisa consists of forty verses of appraisals about Hanuman. Written by Tulsidas, the author of "Ramcharitmanas" the Hanuman Chalisa has several significant instances other than being a strong symbol. It signifies various purposes of life along with highlighting death rituals according to Hindu customs.

It is said that whoever chants the Chalisa in undying devotion to Hanuman will acquire his grace and strength. Many singers have lent their voices to Hanuman Chalisa over the years. In fact, megastar Amitabh Bachchan has also recited Hanuman Chalisa in his powerful voice.
