On Hanuman Jayanti, devotees fast, recite Hanuman Chalisa and read the Sundar Kaand, which narrates the adventures of Hanuman Ji and his selflessness, strength and devotion to Lord Rama. Devotees believe that reciting the Sundar Kaand and Hanuman Chailisa makes one’s life smooth and happy. According to mythology, Lord Hanuman was born during Chaitra Purnima just after sunrise, to Mata Anjana and Kesari.
