- Daily chanting of Hanuman Chalisa, Sunderkand, or Hanuman Stotras.
- Recite mantras like “Om Hanumate Namah”, or Hanuman Gayatri Mantra.
- Wear white, saffron, or simple cotton clothing.
- Attend Hanuman temples regularly, and perform selfless acts like Annadanam (food donation).
- Practice mental discipline, cleanliness, and spiritual reading.
