Bagalamukhi Temple, Nalkheda—revered as one of the most powerful centers of Shakti Sadhana—is situated in the Agar Malwa district of Madhya Pradesh, on the banks of the Lakhundar River. This temple is dedicated to Maa Bagalamukhi, one of the Dasa Mahavidyas, the ten great forms of the Divine Mother in Tantra Shastra. Maa Bagalamukhi is hailed as the ‘Stambhan Shakti’, the divine force who halts, controls, and neutralizes negative forces, enemies, and adversities.
The vigraha (idol) of Maa Bagalamukhi at Nalkheda depicts the goddess in her traditional form—holding the tongue of a demon in one hand, while striking him with a cudgel (gada) in the other, symbolizing the victory of knowledge over ignorance, speech over falsehood, and dharma over adharma.
It is believed that sankalp (resolutions) taken at this sacred peeth manifest swiftly when accompanied by dedicated Bagalamukhi Anushthans, Homas, and Jap. This temple is particularly renowned among seekers, spiritual practitioners, and even kings and warriors of ancient India who sought victory, protection from enemies, and success in legal or worldly struggles.
Visiting Nalkheda Bagalamukhi Mandir is not just a ritual—it is entering the domain of Mahavidya Tattva, where the Mother empowers her devotees with victory, fearlessness, and unwavering confidence.
Offering puja here, especially on Navami tithis, Amavasya, and special days of sadhna, brings immense benefits for victory in litigation, freedom from debts, overcoming obstacles, and success in life.
