New Delhi: As Hanuman Jayanti approaches, devotees celebrate the auspicious occasion in special ways. In one such way, music production house Shemaroo Bhakti launched a Shankar Mahadevan special ‘Breathless’ rendition of Hanuman Chalisa.

Taking to their official Koo handle, they posted in Hindi, "Jai Shri Ram, ️ #HanumanJayantiSpecial Hanuman Chalisa (Breathless) dedicated to Rambhakt Bajrangbali in the voice of Shankar Mahadevan ji has been released." 

The 4-minute rendition of Hanuman Chalisa is effortlessly sung by the singer-composer. The breathless rendition is special because of two reasons. 1) Shankar Mahadevan created this unique style of singing first with his album called ‘Breathless’ in 1998. 2) This was a supremely successful moment as it established Mahadevan as a singer with his unique might.

Take a look at the Breathless rendition of Hanuman Chalisa here.
