In Sanatan Dharma, Tuesday of Jyeshtha month is considered to have special significance. All Tuesdays of this month are known as ‘Bada Mangal’ or ‘Budhwa Mangal’. Today is the third ‘Bada Mangal’ of Jyeshtha month. This auspicious day is considered the best time to worship Lord Hanuman, who is the ‘Sankatmochan’ (remover of troubles). It is believed that it was on Tuesday of the month of Jyeshtha that the great devotee Hanuman met Lord Shri Ram for the first time; For this reason, special prayers and rituals are performed for ‘Bajrangbali’ throughout this month. On this day, Hanuman temples across the country witness huge crowds of devotees. Community feasts (‘bhandaras’) are organized at various places, and fresh cold water and ‘sharbat’ (sweet drinks) are served to passers-by. If you also want to please ‘Bajrangbali’ today and remove all the troubles from your life, then read on to know the auspicious time of puja, correct rituals and some extremely effective remedies.
Auspicious time of third big Mangal Puja (2026)
Today – especially on the third ‘Mangal’ day of Jyeshtha month – several auspicious planetary positions have come together to create favorable conditions for the worship of Lord Hanuman. Although ‘Bajrangbali’ can be worshiped throughout the day, morning and evening are considered the best time for spiritual practice and devotion.
**Auspicious time in the morning:** The time between 5:30 am to 9:00 am is considered best for performing puja.
**Abhijeet Muhurta:** This auspicious time will be from 11:50 am to 12:45 pm. It is believed that any work or effort done during this special time brings immense success.
**Evening Puja Timings:** In the evening time – after sunset, especially between 6:45 pm to 8:30 pm – reciting ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ and performing ‘Aarti’ will prove to be extremely fruitful.
Simple puja method for Lord Hanuman
Today, to get the blessings of Lord Hanuman, wake up early in the morning, take a holy bath and wear clean clothes (preferably red or yellow). Then, go to your home temple or a nearby Hanuman temple and perform the puja as follows: Sit with folded hands in front of the idol or picture of Lord Hanuman and resolve to observe a fast or perform a special puja. Light a lamp of cow ghee or jasmine oil in front of Lord Hanuman. Then, after bathing Lord Bajrangbali with Ganga water, offer him red flowers, Gomti Chakra or Tulsi leaves.
After this, offer them vermilion mixed with jasmine oil – this method is called ‘Chola’. On this auspicious day, it is considered very auspicious to offer bhog (sacred food) – like boondi laddus, gram flour laddus, or puri and halwa – to Lord Hanuman. Sitting on the puja mat, recite Hanuman Chalisa, Bajrang Baan or Sunderkand with full devotion. Finally, light camphor to perform aarti (puja performed by lighting a lamp) of Lord Hanuman and ask for forgiveness for any mistakes or omissions committed during the puja.
