हनुमान जयंतीHanuman Jayanti

Also called Hanuman Jayanthi · Anjaneya Jayanti · Hanumath Jayanti

The birth of Hanumān, kept above all on a Tuesday or a Saturday, with sindūr offered at the shrine.

When it falls

The full moon of Chaitra in the North and West. Tamil Nadu keeps it in Mārgaśīrṣa and much of the Deccan in the dark fortnight of Vaiśākha — this is one of the observances genuinely reckoned differently from region to region, and none of the reckonings is the correction of another.

The tithi, not a date — the calendar date is a pañchāṅga reckoning and differs by region. Check your local pañchāṅga for this year.

The Reading

The Chālīsā, forty verses, read once or eleven times; the Bajraṅg Bāṇ; and the Sundara Kāṇḍa, the book that is his.
