Bagalamukhi Jayanti 2025: History
According to Hindu mythology, the story behind Bagalamukhi Jayanti goes back to the Satya Yuga. It is said that once a huge storm on Earth threatened the existence of all living beings. Lord Vishnu became worried and asked Lord Shiva for help. Lord Shiva told him that only Goddess Shakti could stop the storm. So, Lord Vishnu prayed to Goddess Shakti near a lake called Haridra Sarovar. The goddess, pleased with his prayers, appeared from the lake as Bagalamukhi and calmed the storm and saved the universe.
There is also another mythological tale behind the origin of Maa Bagalamukhi. A demon named Madan got a special power, known as Vak-siddhi, through prayer. With this power, whatever he said would come true. But he started misusing it and began troubling innocent people. The gods then prayed to Goddess Shakti to stop him. She took the form of Bagalamukhi, who then caught the demon’s tongue and took away his power. Before he died, Madan asked the goddess to let him be worshipped along with her. She agreed and then killed him.
