Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated every year on the full moon of Chaitra month. It is believed that Hanuman was born on this date. Tuesday is considered to be the day of Lord Bajrangbali. Hanuman Jayanti on Tuesday makes it even more special.

Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated twice a year. For the first time it is celebrated on the day of Shukla Purnima of Chaitra month and Krishna Chaturdashi of the second Kartik month. Hanuman Jayanti has special significance in Hinduism. It is believed that on this day, whoever worships Ram devotee Hanuman methodically, his grace always remains on him.

Bajrangbali is considered to be the biggest and favorite devotee of Rama. Recite Ramcharitmanas, Sundara Kand, and Hanuman Chalisa on Hanuman Jayanti.
