The tradition names no separate muhurat for this festival — it is observed through the day. Abhijit is the day’s generally auspicious window and Rahu Kaal the one to avoid.
Hanuman Jayanti celebrates the birth of Hanuman on the full moon of Chaitra. In parts of the south and west the same birth is observed on other dates entirely — this is the north Indian reckoning.
Devotees read the Hanuman Chalisa, offer sindoor and boondi, and visit Hanuman temples at dawn, when the recitation traditionally begins.
