Mumbai: The worship of Hanumanji is believed to alleviate all kinds of troubles and obstacles in Hinduism. Tuesday is considered highly auspicious and is dedicated to Hanumanji, another name for Bajrangbali. Worshiping Lord Hanuman becomes even more important during the month of Jyeshtha (Jeth), especially on Tuesdays. There will be four Bada Mangal days in the month of Jyeshtha in 2024.
Jyeshtha Month 2024
Purnima (full moon) begins at 6:48 PM on May 22, 2024, and ends at 7:23 PM on May 23, 2024, according to the Hindu calendar. The Jyeshtha month started from the first day of the waning moon (Pratipada) on May 24, 2024. As a result, the first Bada Mangal will take place on May 28, 2024.
Bada Mangal Significance
Each year, four to five Tuesdays hold special significance according to religious beliefs. On these special Tuesdays, known as Bada Mangals or Budhwa Mangals, special rituals are performed. These days fall in the month of Jyeshtha, and people are said to be relieved of all troubles and obstacles by worshipping Hanumanji on these days.
Tuesdays in the month of Jyeshtha are dedicated to Hanumanji’s worship.
It is believed that fasting and worshipping Hanumanji on Bada Mangal alleviates sorrow and suffering and dispels fears of evil spirits. During Bada Mangal, Hanuman temples organise grand feasts (Bhandara), and devotees believe that fasting and worshipping on this day eradicate negativity from life.
Bada Mangal Dates in 2024

Second Bada Mangal: June 4, 2024

Why is Budhwa Mangal Celebrated?
During the Mahabharata era, Bhima became arrogant about his strength, according to legend. In order to humble Bhima, Hanumanji assumed the form of an old monkey (Budhwa Vanar). The incident took place on a Tuesday, which marked Budhwa Mangal.
In the Ramayana, another belief states that when Hanumanji went to Lanka in search of Sita, Ravana mocked him and imprisoned him. Hanumanji destroyed Ravana’s pride by setting Lanka on fire. This event also took place on a Tuesday during the month of Jyeshtha, contributing to the significance of Budhwa Mangal.
Rituals of Bada Mangal
Rituals can be performed in the following ways:
Wake up early before sunrise (Brahma Muhurta), take a bath, and wear clean clothes.
Clean Hanumanji’s idol with Ganga water.
Offer Dhoop, a Deep, ed flowers, Akshat, sandalwood paste (Chandan), and a red or orange loincloth (Langot) to Hanumanji.
Offer sweets like Motichoor laddoos or Boondi as prasad.
Visit a Hanuman temple, have darshan, and distribute food to the needy.
Offer a leaf from a Banyan tree to Hanumanji and later immerse the dried leaf in a holy river.
Mantra for Bada Mangal
Peace, prosperity, and happiness can be achieved by reciting the following mantra 108 times on each Bada Mangal:
Om Namo Hanumate Rudravataraya Vishwaroopaya Amit Vikramaya.
Prakatparakramaya Mahabalaya Surya Kotisamaprabhaaya Ramdootaya Swaha.
It is believed that observing the rituals and chanting this mantra during Jyeshtha’s Bada Mangal days will bring immense blessings and fulfil all desires.
