It is believed by the Tamils that Lord Hanumath was born during Margashirsha Amavasya (new moon) when Moolam Nakshatram was prevailing. In most years, the moolam nakshatram prevails when the new moon occurs. In rare years when Moolam Nakshatra does not prevail or coincide with new moon, the new moon day is selected to be celebrated as the birthday of Vajrangvali.
The states of Telengana and Andhra Pradesh have a unique way of celebrating the birth of Lord Hanuman. There, it is celebrated for a period of 41 days which starts on Chitra purnima or full moon, and ends on the Baisakhi month’s 10th day, on Krishna paksha. The concluding day is Hanuman Jayanti Day.
