Hanuman Jayanti 2026
Thursday, April 2, 2026
This date has passed; see the next edition below.
What this day is
The birth of Hanuman on the full moon of Chaitra in the North Indian reckoning (other regions keep different dates). Hanuman is devotion, strength, and service in one form.
How families observe it at home
Families recite the Hanuman Chalisa together (many households do all forty verses in one sitting today even if they normally manage a few) and offer sindoor, boondi, or bananas. It is a favorite day to start children on memorizing the Chalisa.
About this date

Lunisolar dates can shift by a day between regional calendars and panchang editions. If this day matters to your family, confirm the local tithi with your panchang or temple before planning.
