Lord Hanuman is revered by Hindus throughout India because he was a dedicated disciple of Lord Rama, the Hindu deity, and because of his profound love for the god Rama. As a result, Hanuman Jayanti is observed on the full moon that occurs during Shukla Paksha on the 15th of Chaitra (also known as Chaitra Pournima). Hanuman Jayanti is a festival that commemorates the birth of Lord Hanuman, also known as the Vanara God. His avatar is said to be the eleventh incarnation of Rudra, Lord Siva’s divine power, and he possesses, among other things, generous devotion, strength, knowledge, divine might, courage, intelligence, and the spirit of selfless service.
