Chaitra Purnima · Deity: Hanuman
Wednesday, April 1, 2026
Panchang that morning (IST): Shukla Chaturdashi tithi · Uttara Phalguni pada 3 · Moon in Virgo
Chaitra Purnima marks the birth of Hanuman — strength, devotion, and service embodied. Falling days after Ram Navami, it completes the Chaitra cycle of Rama devotion.
Sunrise pujas (Hanuman is held to have been born at dawn), Hanuman Chalisa recitations — often 11 or 108 times — sindoor offering, and boondi or besan laddus as prasad.
A dawn Chalisa at home is the simplest complete observance — no temple required.
