Hanuman Jayanti 2026 marks the birth of Lord Hanuman, a central figure in the Ramayana and a symbol of strength, devotion, and courage. In 2026, it is being observed on April 2 in most parts of India, based on the full moon (Purnima) of the Chaitra month in the Hindu calendar.

The day is traditionally observed with prayers, fasting, temple visits, and the recitation of sacred texts like the Hanuman Chalisa. Many devotees also chant specific mantras believed to offer protection, remove obstacles, and bring mental clarity.
