      I posted the comment 4th April
      Reference - Vasan Suddha Thiruganitha Panchangam
      (Tamil) year 2011
      Page-40 Tamil month Margazhi
      Malayalam month Dhanush
      Date-8 Day Saturday
      Star-Moolam.
      How come this difference. Ofcourse the date is not important.The life he led as a true devotee and as sevak and as minister and dhoot are to be cherished and followed.

      Dear Friend,

      The confusion occured because the date of Hanuman Jayanti varies in different regions.

      The date you provided is correct according to Tamil Panchangam. In Tamilnadu, Hanuman Jayanti is observed in Margazhi month (December - January).

      While in Andhra Pradesh, the date is on 15th May 2012.
