Why Hanuman Jayanti Is Celebrated Twice A Year In India

Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated twice a year due to regional differences in beliefs. In many states, it’s observed during Chaitra Purnima (March-April) as Hanuman’s birth anniversary. Also, especially in states like Tamil Nadu, it’s celebrated during Margashirsha (Dec-Jan), believing that was when Hanuman first met Lord Rama.
