About Hanuman Jayanti

Hanuman Jayanti celebrates the birth of Lord Hanuman, the supreme devotee (Parama Bhakta) of Lord Rama and the embodiment of strength, devotion, and selfless service.

Depending on regional calendars, it is celebrated either on Chaitra Purnima (North India) or during the Krishna Paksha of Margashirsha (South India).

Vrat Vidhi & Fasting Rules

Devotees observe fasting, visit temples, and recite the Hanuman Chalisa.

Step-by-Step Fasting Procedures:

Take a holy bath early in the morning and observe a day-long fast.
Visit a Hanuman temple and offer an auspicious 'Chola' (a coating of Sindoor mixed with Jasmine oil) to the deity.
Recite the Hanuman Chalisa, Sundara Kanda, or chant 'Sri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram' continuously.
