Hanuman Jayanti stands as a tribute to the divine birth of Lord Hanuman, a central figure in Hindu lore renowned for his fervent devotion, indomitable strength, and steadfast loyalty. It falls on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu lunar month of Chaitra, typically in March or April. Devotees observe this occasion through fasting, recitations of prayers, and pilgrimages to Hanuman’s revered temples.
Renowned for his steadfast devotion, valor, and fortitude, Lord Hanuman is hailed as an emblem of selfless service, loyalty, and unwavering determination. Hanuman Jayanti serves as a poignant reminder of his virtuous attributes and teachings, encouraging devotees to embody his noble qualities in their daily lives.
A significant facet of Hanuman Jayanti is the recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa, a sacred hymn penned by the revered saint Tulsidas, extolling the magnificence and eminence of Hanuman. Devotees reverently chant these verses, seeking the blessings and divine protection of Hanuman.
Throughout the day, adherents visit Hanuman’s sanctified shrines to offer prayers, perform rituals, and beseech his blessings for fortitude, valor, and safeguarding against malevolent forces. Many also observe fasts and engage in acts of benevolence as expressions of gratitude and devotion to Hanuman.
Colorful processions featuring vibrant floats and displays depicting scenes from Hanuman’s illustrious life are paraded through various cities and towns, captivating both devotees and spectators alike.
