In North I was aware of Hanuman Jayanti being celebrated in the spring season, sometime in April.
What I saw is, here in South India, today is Hanuman Jayanti.
As per the Tamil Almanac, Hanuman was born on a new moon day in the months of December - January. As per the almanac in North India, he was born in the month of Chaitra (March - April) on a full moon day.
Reading, I was told this is only in Tamil Nadu. The rest of the South Indian states celebrate it between March and May (dates vary).
I will try and see if can find out more from the local people here.
