New Delhi: According to a legend, once Hanumanji saw Mother Sita applying vermilion and asked why are you applying vermilion? So Mother Sita said that this is the symbol of Suhaag. The number of devotees of Sankatmochak Hanumanji is innumerable. People keep fast on Tuesday and Saturday which is dedicated to Hanuman ji. They worship him. By doing this Hanumanji removes all the troubles of his devotees. Hanuman ji has many names. Bajrangbali is one of them. There is also a legend behind the name Bajrangbali of Hanumanji.

Hence the name-
Hanumanji, the god of strength and wisdom, is very powerful. He lifted the whole mountain with one hand. According to the Puranas, his entire body is like a thunderbolt, hence he is called Bajrang Bali. So according to a legend, once Hanumanji saw Mother Sita applying vermilion and asked why are you applying vermilion? So Mother Sita said that this is the symbol of Suhaag. She fills vermilion for the long life and good health of her husband Shri Ram.

And Hanuman ji applied vermilion all over his body…
After listening to Mata Sita, Hanuman ji thought that when God gets so much benefit by applying vermilion only in Sentha, then I will apply vermilion all over the body, due to which Lord Shri Ram will become immortal. Seeing Hanuman ji applying vermilion all over his body, Lord Shri Ram asks the reason for this. When Hanumanji explains the reason, the Lord is very pleased to know this. Then they tell Hanumanji that from today onwards your name will also be Bajrangbali. Bajrangbali is made up of two words. Bajrang means saffron and Bali means mighty. Since then the practice of offering vermilion to Hanuman ji is going on. This makes them very happy.
