News India Live, Digital Desk: According to the Hindu calendar, with the departure of Vaishakh, the third and hottest month of the year ‘Jyeshtha’ is going to begin. Jyeshtha month this year 2 May 2026 starting from 29 June 2026 Will last till. According to astrology, on the full moon day of this month, the Moon is in ‘Jyestha’ constellation, hence it is called Jyestha. This month is known not only for the scorching heat but also for spiritual energy and charity. This time the coincidence of ‘Adhik Maas’ in Jyeshtha is making it even more rare and auspicious.
Special connection with Bada Mangal and Hanuman ji
The lord of Jyeshtha month is the planet ‘Mars’, which is a symbol of energy and courage. The Tuesday falling in this month is called ‘Bada Mangal’ or ‘Budhwa Mangal’. There is a mythological belief that on Tuesday of this month, the first meeting of Lord Shri Ram and Sankatmochan Hanuman ji took place. This is the reason that by offering Bundi laddus to Hanuman ji on every Tuesday of Jyeshtha and reciting Sunderkand, even the biggest troubles of life are averted.
Donation of water is a great donation: religious significance of Jyeshtha
The month of Jyeshtha teaches us the value of water. Important fasts like Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi and Vat Savitri occur in this month. According to the scriptures, giving water to the thirsty in Jyeshtha and arranging water for animals and birds gives the same results as Ashwamedha Yagya. It is mentioned in the Anushasana Parva of Mahabharata that a person who regularly fasts and donates in the month of Jyeshtha, becomes free from the bondage of birth and death.
