Question
What is a Chalisa and why is it recited?
Answer
A Chalisa is a devotional stotra, which generally consists of forty chaupais (quatrains). It describes the praise, glory, attributes, and form of a deity. The recitation of Chalisa is done with reverence and devotion. Devotees recite the Chalisa to remember their chosen deity, praise them, and express their faith and devotion towards them. Through this, devotees try to connect with spiritual feelings by contemplating the glory of the deity. Chalisa can be recited regularly or on special occasions. Hanuman Chalisa is a famous example of this.
