In 2026, after 19 years, a great conjunction of 8 'Bade Mangal' will take place; note the dates.

News Topical, Digital Desk : The month of Jyeshtha (Jyeshtha) holds a special significance in Hinduism, especially for devotees of Hanuman. Tuesdays falling in this month are called "Bada Mangal" or "Budhwa Mangal." However, the year 2026 is going to be no ordinary year. This time, something is going to happen that hasn't happened in the last 19 years.

Why is Bada Mangal of 2026 special?

Usually, there are four or five Bada Mangals in the month of Jyeshtha, but in 2026, there will be eight Bada Mangals to bestow the blessings of Lord Hanuman. According to astrological calculations, this is an extremely rare coincidence, occurring after approximately 19 years.

This year, the month of Jyeshtha is slightly longer, giving devotees more time to serve Bajrangbali . Throughout North India, including Lucknow, a unique wave of feasts and service is seen during this time.

What is the legend behind this?

According to religious beliefs and ancient texts (such as the Ramcharitmanas and regional folk tales), it was during the month of Jyeshtha that Lord Rama met his ardent devotee Hanuman. It was also during this month that Hanuman subdued Bhima's pride, and hence he is worshipped as "Budhwa Mangal" (Old Hanuman).

According to the Hindu calendar and astrology , whenever such a combination of dates occurs, that period is considered extremely fruitful for worship.
