Bada Mangal 2025: Dates, Significance, Rituals and Importance:

Bada Mangal, also called Budhwa Mangal, is observed on every Tuesday in the Hindu month of Jyeshtha. These days are dedicated to the worship of Lord Hanuman. Devotees believe that prayers offered to Bajrangbali on these days remove inauspicious energies and bring spiritual blessings.

Why is Bada Mangal Celebrated?
According to Hindu mythology, it was on a Tuesday in the Jyeshtha month during Treta Yuga that Lord Ram met Hanuman for the first time. This moment is commemorated as a sacred and transformative event, and devotees worship the older form of Hanuman to seek protection from hardships.

Special "Bhandaras" (community meals) are organized.

Worship involves lighting diyas, offering sweets like boondi and laddoo, and chanting Hanuman Chalisa.

Religious and Astrological Importance
Bada Mangal is not only spiritually important but also has astrological relevance. Mars (Mangal) is considered a hot planet in astrology. Offering donations of cooling items such as earthen pots, pitchers, and water jars can help balance Mars’s influence and reduce Manglik Dosha.

Charity on Bada Mangal
Giving food, water, and cooling items to the needy is considered highly auspicious on these days. It is believed to bring good fortune and peace to the family and reduce obstacles.
