Baglamukhi Jayanti is being observed today. The day falls on the Ashtami tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakh and is considered the appearance day of Goddess Baglamukhi. She is one of the ten Mahavidyas and holds a distinct place in Hindu spiritual traditions.
It is believed that Goddess Baglamukhi emerged from a sacred lake called Haridra in Saurashtra. She is also known as Pitambara, which simply means the one who wears yellow. The colour yellow is closely associated with her. She is depicted in yellow attire, and devotees are also encouraged to wear yellow while worshipping her. Even the offerings used during puja are usually kept in shades of yellow. She is often referred to as the goddess who helps destroy enemies and remove obstacles.
Significance of Baglamukhi Jayanti and colour rituals
The day is considered important for those seeking strength, protection, and clarity in difficult situations. Yellow plays a central role in the rituals. Wearing yellow clothes, using yellow flowers, and including yellow items in the puja is believed to align the devotee more closely with the energy of the goddess.
