Chalisa

Chalisa generally refers to a devotional hymn composed of forty (40) chaupais, describing the qualities and glory of a deity or goddess. In Hinduism, regularly reciting a Chalisa is considered highly auspicious and spiritually beneficial. However, it is not necessary for every Chalisa to always contain exactly 40 chaupais. Some Chalisas may contain fewer or more than 40 chaupais. For example, some popular versions of Kali Chalisa contain 54 chaupais. In addition, different versions of the same Chalisa may also be prevalent, in which the number of chaupais or the wording of the verses may vary slightly.

Here you will find the complete text and meaning of popular Chalisas dedicated to Hanuman, Ganesha, Shiva, Shani Dev, Krishna, Rama, Surya Dev, Vishnu, Durga, and Lakshmi.
