Hanuman Jayanti, a significant Hindu festival, will be celebrated on April 2, 2026. This auspicious day marks the birth anniversary of Lord Hanuman, who is revered for his strength and devotion.
Born to mother Anjani and father Kesari during the Treta Yuga, Hanuman is also known as Pawan Putra, the son of the wind god.

Devotees engage in various rituals to honor Lord Hanuman, including chanting the Hanuman Chalisa and performing puja. Common fasting rules dictate that followers avoid non-vegetarian food, onion, garlic, and alcohol during this sacred time. Many devotees visit Hanuman temples and participate in charitable acts, seeking blessings from the deity.
On this day, the Abhijeet Muhurat is observed from 12:00 PM to 12:50 PM, while several Shubh Muhurats are available for worship, including times from 06:10 AM to 07:44 AM, 12:25 PM to 03:32 PM, and 05:05 PM to 08:05 PM.
As devotees chant mantras such as “Om Anjani Sutaye Namah..!!” and “Om Ham Hanumate Namah..!!”, they express their reverence and devotion. The day is filled with spiritual fervor, as many believe that Lord Hanuman bestows strength, protection, and blessings upon his followers.
Hanuman Jayanti is not just a day of worship; it is considered one of the most auspicious Hindu festivals. Observers expect large gatherings at temples and homes across the country, as communities come together to celebrate the legacy of Lord Hanuman.
