Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Hanuman. On this day, the devotees keep fast. Every year, Hanuman Jayanthi occurs on the full moon day of the Hindu month Chaitra.

Thus, in this month, there are not 2 but 3 Ekadashi. Such a coincidence is rarely made, because usually 2 akadashi comes in a month. In this way, the first month of Hindu New Year is being considered as very special from Teej-festival and Navratri-fasting perspective.
