All Tuesdays falling in the month of Jeth (Jyestha) in eastern Uttar Pradesh, in which the major cities of Kanpur, Lucknow and Varanasi are called Bada Mangal. In some places, the devotees also know it by the name of Budhe Mangal.
On this day Sankat Mochan Shri Hanumant Lal is worshiped in Hanuman and Balaji temple, Sundar Kand recitation, Hanuman Chalisa recitation and Chola is offered to Hanuman ji. After worshiping, on the day of Bada Mangal, Hanuman devotees arrange Bhandara, Lassi, Thandai and Pyau by placing pandals at different places at the crossroads.
Celebrated in the month of Jyeshtha, this bada mangal is celebrated mainly in Unnao, Kanpur, Varanasi, Lucknow, Sitapur, Barabanki, Sultanpur, Pratapgarh, Rae Bareilly and Prayagraj districts with great pomp.
There is the same idea, feeling and logic behind considering Budhwa Mangal and bada mangal. Just the time to celebrate these two festivals is somewhat different in different places and ideology. Budhwa Mangal is celebrated in North India on the last Tuesday of Bhadrapada month. On the other hand, in some places, Bada Mangal is known as Budha Mangal or Budhwa Mangal.
