Surya Dev was the guru of Hanuman. He wanted to teach Hanuman Ashta Siddhis (8 Powers) and Nav Nidhis (9 Treasures). Hanuman learned half Siddhis. Surya Dev told him to learn others one should be married. As Hanuman was eager to learn, Surya Dev suggested him to marry his daughter Suvarchala (who was also a celibate) and offer him Guru Dakshina as only Hanuman can bear the Varchas of Sun. Surya Dev also gave a boon to Hanuman that he will remain Brahmachari even after the marriage.

Hanuman agreed and as Guru Dakshina married Suvarchala on Jyestha Sukhla Dashmi (10th day in Jyestha month) ritualistically by Surya Dev, and hence he learned rest siddhis. and Suvarchala went in deep penance.
