This year Ram Navami falls on Thursday and according to the Hindu Scriptures, the ninth day of Chaitra Navratri is celebrated as the birth-day of Lord Rama.
It is also believed that since Lord Hanuman was a great devotee of Lord Rama thus he gave Hanuman a vardan(blessed) which entitles Hanuman's birth-day to be celebrated on Ram Navmi.
Thus in India, every Hindu household celebrates Lord Hanuman's birthday on Ram Navami.
