New Delhi: Tomorrow, Thursday, April 2, 2026, marks the auspicious occasion of Chaitra Purnima, which will be celebrated across the country with great fervor as Hanuman Jayanti. In the Treta Yuga, it was on this sacred date that Lord Hanuman, the son of Anjana, was born. This year, as Hanuman Jayanti falls on a Thursday, a rare and powerful conjunction of 'Wisdom and Strength' is being formed, which will open the doors of prosperity for devotees.
According to astrological calculations, while the Chaitra Purnima Tithi begins tonight, the fast and birth celebrations will be observed tomorrow as per the Udayatithi (sunrise timing).
