About this piece
The Hanuman Yantra is the geometric seat of Lord Hanuman, the celibate warrior-devotee whose presence dissolves fear, breaks black-magic and tantric attack, and confers unbreakable courage. The core geometry is a square bhupura with four gates (representing Hanuman's all-direction protective shield), enclosing a central shatkona formed by interlocking upward and downward triangles, an inner eight-petal lotus, and a central bindu carrying the Hanuman beej "Hum" or the Panchmukhi (five-faced) seed mantras. The square form is critical — it establishes containment and stability, fixing Hanuman's energy as a permanent guardian over the space. Copper is the prescribed metal because it conducts the hot, expansive solar prana that Hanuman embodies as the son of Vayu (wind) and devotee of Rama (sun-dynasty). Used for protection from enemies, court cases, supernatural disturbance, and chronic fear or anxiety. Hand-engraved in Jaipur and energised on a Tuesday or Hanuman Jayanti.
Specifications
How to wear
Place the yantra in the east direction facing west, ideally above the main entrance for whole-home protection. For Panchmukhi (five-faced) Hanuman, place above a south or south-west facing door. Tuesday and Saturday are Hanuman's days — light a mustard-oil or til (sesame) oil lamp, offer red flowers and sindoor (vermilion), and chant "Om Hum Hanumate Rudratmakaya Hum Phat Swaha" or "Shri Hanumate Namah" 108 times. Recite the Hanuman Chalisa daily — 7 readings on Tuesday is the classical regimen for severe protection needs.
Frequently asked
How do I tell hand-engraved from machine-stamped?
The bhupura gates are the test — hand-engraved gates have crisp T-shaped notches with three distinct cut depths; machine versions are flat single-depth impressions. The vermillion-friendly raised relief of a true Hanuman Yantra is also impossible to replicate by stamping.
Can I place Hanuman Yantra in the bedroom?
Hanuman is brahmachari (celibate) — bedroom placement is traditionally avoided. Install in the pooja room, living area, or above the main entrance instead. If the home has only one room, place on the east wall at eye level and cover with cloth during intimate moments.
How often should I worship?
Tuesday and Saturday are non-negotiable for serious devotees — full pooja with lamp, sindoor, and Chalisa. Daily darshan with 11 repetitions of "Shri Hanumate Namah" is the minimum for protection benefits.
Can women worship during periods?
Hanuman is brahmachari and is approached with particular respect during menses — mental mantra is fully permitted; physical worship and sindoor application are paused for three days, then resumed after bath.
Where do I dispose of an old yantra?
Immerse in flowing water on a Tuesday with three repetitions of the Hanuman beej. The yantra has typically absorbed considerable protective work and should be returned to nature with gratitude.
Can I use a printed paper version?
For travel or temporary work, paper is acceptable. For permanent home protection, copper is the only substrate that can hold Hanuman's vajra-strong protective field over years. ---
How to verify this is genuine
For a yantra, geometry outranks metal. A mathematically incorrect diagram in solid copper is still incorrect — check the drawing before you check the material.
- 01Geometry first
The design must be accurate — for a Shri Yantra that means nine primary triangles (4 up, 5 down) whose corners MEET the lines they touch, with the bindu at the true centre. Tilt under raking light; bad copies show near-misses.
- 02Engraved, not printed
Run a fingernail across the lines: engraving catches, printing does not. Turn it over — a die-stamped plate shows a mirror impression pushed through from the front.
- 03Plating check
Plating wears first at the rim and reverse; look for yellow or silver showing beneath the copper tone. Solid copper is the same colour through any scratch.
- 04Magnet test
Neither copper nor brass is magnetic. If a magnet sticks, the core is plated steel.
- 05Question the energisation claim
Ask by whom, on what tithi, with which mantra and how many repetitions. A genuine answer is immediate and specific.
Care note — Real copper is supposed to darken with time — that is patina, not damage. Clean with tamarind or lemon-and-salt and dry completely.
