The festivities of this day differ all across the nation as it is a day that is celebrated with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm. Many Hanuman bhakts or disciples even observe fast or vrat as it is called in Hindi to seek the blessings of the Lord on this auspicious day.

Each region of the country celebrates this occasion in its own unique way. It is a perfect example of unity in diversity that is the backbone of our multicultural nation. This day is also popularly known as Hanuman Janamotsav as it marks the birth anniversary of Lord Hanuman, the beloved follower of Lord Rama.

Legends Associated with Hanuman Jayanti Festival:

As per the Ramayana, the greatest epic of the Hindus, Lord Hanuman was an incarnation of Lord Shiva and was born to the Vaanar Raj, Kesari, and his wife, Anjana. His birth’s sole purpose was to serve Lord Rama. He held great devotion towards the Maryada Purshottam in his heart. According to a legend surrounding this deep devotion exhibited by him, he once saw Goddess Sita applying orange sindoor on her head. Watching this, he asked Goddess Sita the reason behind her actions. She then explained to him that she applied the sindoor on her head to ensure the long life of her husband, Shree Ram. Hearing this, Lord Hanuman smeared his entire body with orange sindoor to make sure his idolized Shree Ram lived a long and healthy life. It is for this reason that Lord Hanuman is said to love orange sindoor so much and his idols are usually covered with it to appease him.

The day of happy Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated to embody Hanuman-like courage in our beings, to protect ourselves from all our fears, and to banish all evil forces from our lives. It is a day to appease the divine Lord Hanuman and seek his blessings for a life full of strength and vitality.
