Telugu calendars mark Hanuman Jayanthi on Vaishakha Bahula Dashami. In that tradition, a 41-day Hanuman Deeksha begins on Chaitra Purnima, 20 April, and leads up to it. Families who follow a local panchangam may confirm the day with it.
Many Telugu devotees keep the deeksha in saffron clothes with simple food and daily prayer. They often complete it at Hanuman temples such as Kondagattu in Telangana.
Two Tamil Hanumath Jayanthis fall in calendar 2027, because Margazhi Amavasai comes in early January and again in late December. In Tamil tradition, devotees offer Anjaneyar a vadai malai, a garland of vadai, along with butter and tulsi. Many visit Anjaneyar temples such as Namakkal and Suchindram.
Hanuman Jayanti 2027 in North India: Chaitra Purnima
In the North Indian calendar, Hanuman Jayanti is kept on Chaitra Purnima, the full moon of Chaitra. In 2027 it falls on a Tuesday, the weekday devotees in the north dedicate to Hanuman. It comes five days after Ram Navami on Thursday, 15 April; see our Ram Navami 2027 guide.
20 April is also the Chaitra Purnima snan of Haridwar Kumbh 2027 (the mela administration calls it Ardh Kumbh). It is the last of the ten announced bathing days. Related: Haridwar Kumbh 2027 snan dates.
Many devotees prefer the name Hanuman Janmotsav. In tradition Hanuman is a chiranjeevi, one who lives on, so they speak of a celebration of his birth.

Sundarkand, sindoor chola and the Tuesday and Saturday custom

Sindoor chola. In a chola, Hanuman's image is covered with sindoor mixed in jasmine oil, often finished with silver varak. A popular story says Hanuman saw Sita apply sindoor for Shri Ram's long life and covered himself in it. Temples offer chola on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Hanuman Jayanti.
