In the Hindu calendar, every Tuesday during the month of Jyeshtha is celebrated as Bada Mangal or Budhwa Mangal, a day of special worship for Lord Hanuman. In 2026, due to the occurrence of Adhik Maas (leap month), there will be eight Bada Mangal days from May 5 to June 23. For individuals affected by Mangal Dosha, devotion to Lord Hanuman on these days is especially beneficial.
What is Mangal Dosha?
According to Vedic astrology, Mangal Dosha occurs when Mars is positioned in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a person’s birth chart. Mangal Dosha is categorized into three types:
-
Mild: Causes minimal issues.
-
Moderate: Calms down after 28 years.
-
Severe: Creates the most problems, including delays in marriage, marital disputes, and health challenges.
Effects of Mangal Dosha
Individuals with Mangal Dosha often exhibit angry, stubborn, and impulsive behavior. Depending on Mars’ placement:
-
1st House: Creates audacity and aggressiveness
-
4th House: Irritability
-
7th House: Marital obstacles
-
8th House: Ego issues
-
12th House: Quarrelsome nature
Mangal Dosha can also lead to delayed marriage, financial issues, and domestic conflicts.
Why Lord Hanuman is the Best Remedy for Mangal Dosha
Lord Hanuman, the son of the Wind God, resonates with the energy of Mars, often called the son of the Earth. Worshipping Hanuman pacifies the malefic effects of Mars, calms the mind, reduces anger, and sharpens intellect. Devotees experience protection and guidance in all aspects of life.
Remedies for Mangliks on Bada Mangal
-
Read Hanuman Chalisa at least 11 or 21 times on Bada Mangal.
-
Offer red sindoor to Lord Hanuman.
-
Donate red lentils on Tuesday.
-
Recite Bajrang Baan.
-
Offer banana and boondi laddus to Lord Hanuman.

According to Lal Kitab, Mars is considered a manifestation of Lord Hanuman. It advises lighting a ghee lamp and offering red sandalwood on Tuesdays to reduce the malefic influence of Mars.
Bada Mangal is a significant opportunity for those affected by Mangal Dosha. Regular worship, Hanuman Chalisa recitation, offerings of sindoor, and living a disciplined life during these eight Tuesdays can reduce the Dosha’s effects, bringing peace, prosperity, and success.
