Baglamukhi Jayanti – Receive Divine Blessings from the Eighth Mahavidya

Goddess Baglamukhi is the eighth of the ten Mahavidyas. Devotees also revere her by names like Brahmastra, Peetambara, and Vishnuvinita. In 2025, Baglamukhi Jayanti will fall on May 5, during the Vaishakh Shukla Ashtami. This day holds great significance for her devotees.

Goddess Baglamukhi is the divine force of stambhana (paralyzing enemies and stopping harm). She immediately halts adversities and negative forces. According to ancient beliefs, she first appeared at Haridra Sarovar in Saurashtra, Gujarat. Due to her emergence from Haridra Sarovar, people also call her Peetambara.

The Origin of Baglamukhi – A Mythological Tale

Once, a devastating storm shook the entire universe. Even Lord Vishnu couldn’t contain it. He invoked the Adi Shakti, who manifested as Maa Peetambara from Haridra Sarovar and calmed the storm. From that moment, devotees began worshipping her as the Goddess of Stambhana.

Meaning Behind the Name Baglamukhi

Some tantric texts refer to her as Vaglamukhi.
“Va” represents Varuni (nectar)
“Ga” symbolizes the giver of siddhis (spiritual powers)
“La” signifies earthly wealth

Her divine beauty and power earned her the name Baglamukhi. In most depictions, she is shown pulling a demon’s tongue, symbolizing her control over enemies. Lord Brahma was the first to worship her.
