Destination specialists and licensed local guides
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.
What happens
Hanuman temples across the country hold special prayers, recitations of the Hanuman Chalisa, and processions on this day. Unlike Ram Navami's concentration at Ayodhya, Hanuman Jayanti is observed broadly at Hanuman temples nationwide rather than at one dominant pilgrimage site.
When it falls
Hanuman Jayanti typically falls in the Hindu month of Chaitra, usually placing it in April on the Gregorian calendar, though the exact lunar day observed varies by regional tradition, and some regions mark it at a different point in the year entirely. Confirm locally for your specific travel dates. (confirmed on enquiry)
