Hanuman Jayanti 2026 in Cape Town
हनुमान जयंती
Hanuman Jayanti 2026 in Cape Town falls on Wednesday, 1 April 2026. Hanuman Jayanti marks the birth of Hanuman, kept with recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa and Sundara Kanda. The northern date falls on Chaitra Purnima; several regions observe it on other days.
The two differ because the tithi doesn't begin and end at midnight — it can start or finish on different calendar days in Cape Town than in New Delhi. DevYatra observes the date correct for where you are, not an India-default calendar.
