Why Is Bada Mangal Celebrated?

As per ancient legends, Lord Hanuman met Lord Rama for the first time on a Tuesday in the month of Jyeshtha during the Treta Yuga. Since then, this day has been considered highly auspicious. On Bada Mangal, devotees worship Hanuman in his elderly (budhwa) form, which is believed to relieve them from pain and hardship.

The Spirit Of Giving On Bada Mangal:

Charity plays a significant role in the Bada Mangal celebrations. Donating items made of clay such as earthen pots, pitchers, and water containers is considered especially auspicious. According to Vedic astrology, Mars (Mangal) is a fiery planet. Offering cool items on this day is said to balance Mars’s effects and reduce Manglik dosha, bringing peace and prosperity.
