In Tamil Nadu, Hanumath Jayanthi is traditionally observed during Margashirsha Amavasya. It is believed that Lord Hanuman was born on this Amavasya when Moolam Nakshatram was prevailing. In most years, Margashirsha Amavasya and Moolam Nakshatra occur together, making the day spiritually powerful.
If Moolam Nakshatra does not coincide with Amavasya in a particular year, Amavasya itself is given priority to determine the Hanumath Jayanthi date. Due to this lunar calculation, the festival usually falls in December or January as per the Gregorian calendar.
Hanuman Jayanti in North India
In North Indian states, Hanumath Jayanthi is widely known as Hanuman Jayanti. Here, the festival is celebrated on Chaitra Purnima, the full moon day of the Chaitra month. This observance is among the most popular and widely followed forms of Hanuman Jayanti across the country.
On this day, devotees remember the divine birth of Lord Hanuman, also revered as the Vanara God, and offer prayers seeking courage, wisdom, and protection.
