Maa Baglamukhi, eighth manifestation of Dasmahavidyas or Ten Grand Wisdom Conferring Divine Mothers. Bagla word is a deviation from the original Sanskrit word Valga meaning bridle. So this Divine Mother is, from the literal meaning, a Mother bridling the enemies.
Baglamukhi originated as a result of the prayer of Devatas to God Vishnu when a demon named Madan had appeared as a storm in sea and challenged the former. So Baglamukhi is a shakti or essence of Lord Vishnu and thus also called as Pitambra or clad in yellow attire. Though she has a form of Shiva Mratiunjwshwar as her Bhairav.
She is depicted holding a club in her right hand & pulling the tongue of a demon to beat it, thus representing her power to control & paralyze the enemies. She adorns yellow coloured sari & ornaments and is propitiated with offerings in yellow colour signifying auspiciousness, purity and bountifulness. She is ideally worshipped for blessings of protection, power, victory and dominance over enemies. She destroys misconception of delusion
