Hanuman Jayanti: dates, muhurat and meaning.
The next Hanuman Jayanti is on Tuesday, 20 April 2027. The date is computed from the classical panchang for Delhi (rule: classical festival table — tithi prevailing at local noon). Below are the Hanuman Jayanti dates for 2026 and 2027, the day's shubh muhurat windows, and what the festival celebrates.
Hanuman Jayanti by year
What is Hanuman Jayanti?
Born on Chaitra Purnima to Anjana with the wind-god Vayu's grace, Hanuman is worshipped as the embodiment of strength, celibacy and devotion.
The observance is simple and early: temple darshan at dawn, vermilion and oil offerings — recalling Hanuman covering himself in sindoor for Rama's long life — and recitation through the day.
Muhurat on Hanuman Jayanti
Dawn worship is the custom; for the day's own shubh window use the Abhijit Muhurat above, and avoid beginning the fast's sankalpa during Rahu Kaal.
| Window | Time (IST) |
|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurat (shubh for all works) | 11:54 AM – 12:46 PM |
