Hanuman Jayanti 2027: The Computed Date, Tithi and Muhurat

By Dr. R.P. Sharma, Vedic astrologer since 1979 · timings computed on real sidereal positions

Hanuman Jayanti 2027 falls on Wednesday, 21 April 2027. The governing tithi — the Chaitra Purnima observance of Hanuman's birth — runs from 20-04-2027 04:52 IST to 21-04-2027 03:57 IST, computed from the ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the way a Panchang actually derives it. The observance follows the sunrise-prevailing (udaya) tithi.

How the day is kept

Sundarkand or Hanuman Chalisa path, sindoor and boondi offerings, and satsang mark the day from early morning — the udaya (sunrise-prevailing) Purnima is the day kept.

Why the tithi window matters more than the date

A Hindu festival is not a civil date; it is a tithi caught at a particular quality of time — the sunrise-prevailing (udaya) tithi here. When the tithi straddles two days, the rule decides the day, which is why two neighbouring calendars sometimes disagree while both cite the same sky. The window printed above is the actual astronomy; the rule applied to it is the tradition. Together they give you the answer the forwards never explain. For the method itself, see our muhurat & festivals guide.
