Why This Book
I've always believed that the stories and symbols we grow up with deserve to be experienced, not just observed. The Hanuman Chalisa has been part of countless homes for generations, yet many of us engage with it only through words.
This book began with a simple thought: what if people could connect with those verses in a more personal, hands-on way? Instead of merely reading them, they could pause with each chaupai, colour the illustrations, and spend time with the ideas they represent.
Every illustration in this book was created to accompany the verse it sits beside, not to explain it, but to offer another way of experiencing it. My hope is that, whether you're familiar with the Hanuman Chalisa or discovering it for the first time, this book invites you to slow down, reflect, and make the journey your own.
“Not to explain it, but to offer another way of experiencing it.”
