Hanuman Jayanti 2028: Sunday, 9 April 2028

Hanuman Jayanti in 2028 falls on Sunday, 9 April 2028. It is kept on the Purnima of amanta Chaitra.

Why Hanuman Jayanti Is on 9 April in 2028

The Purnima begins at 19:11 on 8 April 2028 and ends at 15:56 on 9 April 2028. The 2028 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Hanuman Jayanti tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.

On 9 April 2028 the Sun rises at 06:01 and sets at 18:43 at New Delhi. The Purnima is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 9 April 2028 is the day.

In 2028 the Purnima lasts 20 hours 45 minutes, against 24 hours 35 minutes in 2026 and 23 hours 6 minutes in 2027: a tithi is twelve degrees of the Moon’s gain on the Sun, and the Moon never gains at a steady rate. The day itself runs 12 hours 42 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi. The Purnima ends at the full moon itself, 15:56 on 9 April 2028, with the Moon in Virgo and Chitra.

When the Purnima begins, the Moon is in Hasta, ruled by the Moon.
