Hanuman Jayanti

Hanuman Jayanti marks the birth of Hanuman and is typically observed in the Hindu month of Chaitra, usually placing it in April, though the exact date and even the specific lunar day used varies by regional tradition. It is marked at Hanuman temples nationwide with processions, recitations and prayer, rather than being concentrated at one specific pilgrimage site.
