Significance of Hanuman Jayanthi
Hanuman Jayanthi marks the birth of Lord Hanuman, the divine monkey god born to Anjana Devi and Kesari, with blessings from Lord Shiva and infused with the power of Vayu Deva (Wind God). The name Hanuman is derived from ‘Hanu’ meaning jaw and ‘man’ meaning knowledge, symbolizing wisdom and strength.
Hanuman Shobha Yatra Route & Details
The Veer Hanuman Vijay Yatra will start from Sri Rama Mandiram in Gowliguda and culminate at the Sri Veeranjaneya Swamy Temple in Tadbund, Secunderabad. The route will pass through several key areas in the city.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand stated that around 42 sub-processions will merge into the main yatra, creating a large spiritual gathering.
