Hanuman Jayanti Vrat Katha

It is believed that Hanuman was born from the womb of Mother Anjani. He was very hungry at the time of birth. He thought the sun in the sky as a fruit, so he flied towards the sun to eat. On that day, Rahu had also come to attack the sun. But seeing Hanumanji, he understood him as second Rahu. Only then Indra hit pavanaputra with Braja (Thunder), that causing injury to his chin and scratches in it. That's why his name was Hanuman. So, this tithi full moon day of Chaitra Shukla Paksha is celebrated as Hanuman Jayanti. As he born on Tuesday, so people worship Lord Hanuman on Tuesday.
