Hanuman Jayanti marks the birth of Lord Hanuman, a central figure in the Ramayana and the greatest devotee of Lord Rama. Known for his strength, loyalty, and divine energy, Hanuman is worshipped across India. In 2025, the festival will be observed on Saturday, April 12, making it more spiritually significant as Saturdays are traditionally dedicated to Bajrangbali.
Why Hanuman Jayanti Matters
This sacred day celebrates Hanuman's divine birth to Anjana and Kesari and his spiritual connection to Vayu Dev, the Wind God. Devotees commemorate this occasion with temple visits, chanting of Hanuman Chalisa, aarti, and acts of charity.
