Final Budhwa Mangal Rituals for June 10: A Sacred Tuesday of Devotion
The last and most auspicious Budhwa Mangal of the year falls on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Also called Bada Mangal, this spiritual Tuesday is dedicated to Lord Hanuman, and is observed with immense devotion, especially in North India—particularly in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and parts of Madhya Pradesh.
🛕 What is Budhwa Mangal?
Budhwa Mangal is a sequence of Tuesdays observed during the Hindu month of Jyeshtha, usually in May–June. Devotees believe that Lord Hanuman appeared before Tulsidas on one such Tuesday, blessing him to complete the Ramcharitmanas. As a result, the day is marked by fasting, chanting the Hanuman Chalisa, visiting temples, and organizing communal meals (bhandaras).
