The festival of Hanuman Janmotsav is being celebrated on Thursday, 2 April 2026. According to Hindu beliefs, Hanuman ji was born on the full moon date of Chaitra month in the house of Mother Anjana and Monkey King Kesari. It is mentioned in the scriptures that Hanumanji, the supreme devotee of Shri Ram, is immortal and remains present in every era to protect his devotees.

According to religious beliefs, with his true devotion, even the biggest problems of life easily end and the seeker experiences mental peace and happiness. Bajrangbali becomes pleased with even a little worship and relieves the sufferings of his devotees. Even in Vastu Shastra, the presence of Hanumanji is considered very auspicious, due to which positive energy is maintained in the house.

Importance of placing Hanuman ji’s picture in the house

According to Vastu Shastra, in the house where the picture or statue of Hanumanji is installed, there is no influence of negative powers, ghosts or devils. This place always remains sacred and energetic. Besides, worshiping Hanumanji is considered especially fruitful for getting relief from Mars, Saturn and Pitra Dosh.
