The second Bada Mangal will be observed on May 12, 2026. It will mark the second Tuesday of the Jyeshtha month and is considered more significant than regular Tuesdays. According to religious beliefs, it was during the Tuesdays of this month that Lord Ram met Lord Hanuman for the first time.

It is believed that devotees who observe a fast, worship Lord Hanuman, organise bhandara and donate on Bada Mangal receive special blessings. However, this year, the second Bada Mangal will fall under the shadow of Panchak. Devotees are therefore eager to know the correct puja timings and whether Panchak will affect Hanuman worship.

Second Bada Mangal 2026 Puja Muhurat

The auspicious puja muhurat for the second Bada Mangal will begin at 8:55 AM and continue till 1:59 PM. Worshipping Lord Hanuman in the morning is considered highly beneficial. Offering chola to the deity on this day is believed to bring positive results.

Bada Mangal During Rog Panchak

The day will also coincide with Rog Panchak. Generally, auspicious activities are avoided during Panchak, but according to astrology, Lord Hanuman is considered all-powerful and his worship can still be performed during this period.

It is believed that worshipping Panchmukhi Hanuman during Panchak helps devotees overcome fear, stress and obstacles created by enemies. Organising bhandara is also considered acceptable. However, devotees are advised not to begin any new auspicious or ceremonial work during Panchak.

How To Worship Hanuman Ji During Panchak

On Bada Mangal falling during Panchak, devotees should offer vermilion, red sandalwood and red flowers to Lord Hanuman. Lighting a jasmine oil lamp is also considered auspicious.

Devotees can chant the mantra:

"Om Namo Bhagavate Panchavadanaya, Purvakapi Mukhaya, Sakal Shatru Sanharanaya Swaha."

Reciting the Hanuman Beesa, Hanuman Chalisa or Sundarkand is believed to be highly rewarding on this day. However, performing havan or yajna is prohibited during Panchak.

Important Things To Keep In Mind

Devotees worshipping Lord Hanuman on Bada Mangal should avoid wearing black or blue clothes. Red, yellow or white coloured clothes are considered auspicious for the day.

Those observing Hanuman worship and fasting are also advised to stay away from anger and negative thoughts and maintain celibacy throughout the day.

According to beliefs, devotees should consume only satvik food and completely avoid non-vegetarian food and alcohol on Bada Mangal.
