Mythology & Legend
Hanuman is the son of Vayu (the Wind God) and Anjana. As a child, he mistook the Sun for a ripe fruit and leapt to swallow it. Indra struck him with his Vajra, but Vayu revived him and all the gods blessed him with powers — making him immortal, invulnerable, and the greatest devotee of Lord Rama.
How to Observe
Visit Hanuman temples, recite Hanuman Chalisa and Sundarkand. Offer sindoor (vermilion), oil, and flowers. Distribute prasad. Many observe a fast and break it after evening prayers.
Significance
Celebrates the embodiment of devotion (Bhakti), strength (Shakti), and selfless service (Seva). Hanuman represents the ideal devotee — powerful yet humble.
