Popular practice; no text read gives the day. Our rule: the main northern date is the Caitra Pūrṇimā, on the day this site shows as that Pūrṇimā’s vrata day.

Other regional dates

  • the Kārttika kṛṣṇa Caturdaśī before the Dīpāvalī Amāvasyā, in some northern and western traditions;
  • the new moon of the solar month Mārgaḻi, in Tamil Nadu;
  • Vaiśākha kṛṣṇa Daśamī, in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana;
  • Mārgaśīrṣa śukla Trayodaśī, in Karnataka;
  • the Meṣa saṅkrānti, in Odisha.

These are named here, not computed. No one regional date is the correct one. No text read gives Hanuman Jayanti’s day: the Nirṇaya-sindhu, the Dharmasindhu and the Vratarāja have none.

Questions

By our stated rule; popular practice throughout.

When is Hanuman Jayanti?

In Delhi, on the Caitra Pūrṇimā by our rule: Tuesday, 20 April 2027; Sunday, 9 April 2028; Saturday, 28 April 2029. Popular practice; no text read gives the day, and other regions keep other dates.

Why do regions keep different dates?

Each region keeps its own custom: the Caitra Pūrṇimā in the north, the Kārttika kṛṣṇa Caturdaśī before Dīpāvalī in some northern and western traditions, the new moon of Mārgaḻi in Tamil Nadu, Vaiśākha kṛṣṇa Daśamī in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Mārgaśīrṣa śukla Trayodaśī in Karnataka and the Meṣa saṅkrānti in Odisha. No one of them is the correct one, and none comes from the texts read.

Is Hanuman Jayanti in the classical texts?

No. The Nirṇaya-sindhu, the Dharmasindhu and the Vratarāja have no Hanumān Jayantī; the day is popular practice.
