A divine legacy spanning over 500 years — from the Pandava era to today
Maa Baglamukhi is the 8th of the ten Mahavidyas — the divine cosmic powers in Tantric tradition. Her name comes from 'Bagala' (bridle) and 'Mukhi' (face), representing her power to seize and paralyze the tongue and actions of enemies and evil forces.
She is depicted holding a club in her right hand to beat a demon while pulling his tongue with her left. Seated on a golden throne in the ocean of nectar, dressed in yellow — the color of turmeric, sacred in her worship.
Worshipping Maa Baglamukhi grants victory in legal disputes, protection from enemies, removal of obstacles, and mastery over speech and actions.
ॐ ह्लीं बगलामुखि सर्वदुष्टानां
वाचं मुखं पदं स्तम्भय
जिह्वां कीलय बुद्धिं विनाशय
ह्लीं ॐ स्वाहा
Baglamukhi MantraDuring the Pandavas' exile, Lord Krishna himself guided them to worship Maa Baglamukhi at this very site. This divine directive is recorded in the Kalika Purana, making it one of the oldest places of tantric worship.
The present temple was formally established on the banks of the Lakhundar River in Nalkheda, Agar Malwa, Madhya Pradesh. The sacred idol was enshrined in the central sanctum.
Maa Mahalakshmi was installed in the right sanctum and Maa Saraswati in the left, completing the Trishakti — three divine energies of wealth, power, and wisdom united in one temple.
The temple is surrounded by six naturally grown sacred trees: Bel, Champa, white Ankada, Amla, Neem, and Peepal — a rare combination considered a divine sign of the site's sanctity.
The temple draws over 10,000 devotees monthly. Grand Navratri celebrations, Havan rituals, and Puja ceremonies run year-round. Online booking is now available for devotees worldwide.
