Devotees believe that Bhagwan Rama met Lord Anjaneya for the first time while he was searching for Sita Devi on a Tuesday of Jyeshtha month. Since then, the spiritual significance of this day has remained supreme. Hindu devotees visit a Ram Darbar or Hanuman shrine to chant Hanuman Chalisa, Sundar Kand and perform aartis. In fact, reciting particular mantras that are dedicated to Hanuman Jhi 108 times on this day is also believed to be very beneficial for good fortune and overall prosperity.


Being the greatest devotee of Bhagwan Rama and being an incarnation of Maha Dev, Lord Hanuman is considered as one of the most powerful deities of Hinduism. Therefore, worshipping the God is said to protect us from all kinds of evil forces, accidents, negativities and even untimely death. Hindu astrology also points out Lord Sankatmochan’s divine grace can remove all the negative effects of Shani and Mangal in horoscope. Indeed, Bada Mangal is considered as the best opportunity for devotees to attain the blessings of the Lord.


Spiritual leaders say that if an individual is suffering from financial problems, then he or she can offer jasmine oil and vermilion to Lord Hanuman’s idol on the auspicious day of Budhwa Mangal.

Those devotees who are suffering from the ill-effects of a weak Mars in their horoscope can donate red lentils or fruits that are red in colour on Budhwa Mangal.

If a devotee’s son or daughter is not doing well in academics, it is recommended to provide a lump of sugar candy to Lord Bajrangbali. Then, we have to give the same to the child as prasad each day.
