“Infinite best wishes to all of you on the auspicious occasion of Shri Hanuman Jayanti. May Pavanputra Hanuman Ji, the symbol of valor, devotion and service, provide courage, health and strength to all of you. Jai Bajrang Bali!” Singh wrote

Hanuman Jayanti, or Hanuman Janmotsav, celebrates the birth of Lord Hanuman, an ardent follower of Lord Ram. This day falls on the full moon day (Purnima) of the Hindu lunar month of Chaitra, which typically occurs in March or April. The festivities are marked by colourful processions, cultural performances, and the sharing of prasad.

On this auspicious occasion, devotees fast and offer puja to the deity. They also chant Hanuman Mantras to appease Sankatmochan and form a deeper connection with Lord Hanuman. Several devotees gather at the Hanuman temples across the country on the occasion to offer their prayers and seek the blessings of Lord Hanuman, known for his unwavering devotion, courage, and strength.
