Hindus across India will celebrate Hanuman Jayanti on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, a festival honoring Lord Hanuman, a revered figure symbolizing strength, devotion, and selfless service.
The festival falls on the full moon day (Purnima Tithi) of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) in the Hindu month of Chaitra.

Temple visits are common, with devotees performing Sunderkand Paath (recitation of a specific chapter from the Ramayana), bhajans (devotional songs), and kirtans (devotional hymns) to commemorate the birth anniversary of Maruti Nandan (another name for Hanuman).
