Baglamukhi / Puja
Fame, recognition and prominence in your field.
This traditional puja is performed to seek the blessings of Goddess Baglamukhi — who is believed to have the power to help overcome obstacles, defeat rivals and gain prominence — for recognition and celebrity status in your chosen field.
The puja begins with the invocation “ॐ बगलामुखि महाक्रूरी माहिदाहि कुरु स्वाहा।” (O Goddess Baglamukhi, the one who possesses immense power, please bless and empower me), followed by a formal sankalpa: “I resolve to perform this Baglamukhi Puja with utmost devotion, seeking the blessings of Goddess Baglamukhi to help me gain recognition and prominence in my chosen field.”
After mantra jaap, the devotee meditates on Maa’s image, visualising fame and success, offers personal prayers, performs aarti, and distributes prasad.
Maa Baglamukhi, also known as Maa Pitambara, is one of the ten Mahavidyas — the Great Wisdom Goddesses of Hinduism. She is depicted seated on a yellow lotus, draped in yellow, holding a club in her right hand and a noose in her left. She is revered for her unmatched power to paralyse (stambhan), control and subdue adverse forces, which makes her puja one of the most powerful remedies in the entire Vedic-tantric tradition.

Maa Baglamukhi Mool Mantra
An idol or picture of Maa Baglamukhi as the primary deity for the puja.
A clean yellow cloth spread as a seat (asana) for the Goddess.
A ghee lamp (diya) prepared and offered during the puja.
For creating a fragrant, sattvik atmosphere during the puja.
Fresh flowers — preferably yellow — as an offering to the Goddess.
For applying tilak (sacred mark) on the idol or picture.
Offered as prasadam (sacred food) and distributed after the puja.
A turmeric rosary for the Baglamukhi mantra jaap.
Start by purifying yourself through a bath and by wearing clean, preferably yellow or saffron-coloured clothing. Select a clean and quiet place for the puja, free from disturbance.
Set up a sacred space or altar where the puja will be conducted. Place the picture or idol of Maa Baglamukhi at the centre of the altar on a yellow cloth, decorate it with fresh flowers, and apply sandalwood paste and kumkum. Arrange flowers, incense, fruits and ghee as offerings.
Begin the puja by meditating on Maa Baglamukhi and invoking her divine presence. Recite her specific mantras and prayers, and seek her blessings and guidance for the purpose of your puja.
Offer fresh flowers, incense, fruits, sweets and other items as a sign of devotion and respect. It is common to offer ghee (clarified butter), as this is considered a sacred substance in Hindu rituals. Light the ghee lamp and incense sticks and offer them to the Goddess while chanting her mantra.
Chant the specific Baglamukhi mantras and prayers — especially the mool mantra given below — for the prescribed count on a haldi mala, with complete devotion. These mantras are believed to enhance the efficacy of the puja.
Throughout the puja, meditate on the Goddess and visualise yourself achieving fame and success in your chosen field. After the jaap, sit quietly, meditate on the Goddess and visualise the desired outcome being fulfilled by her grace.
Conclude the puja with gratitude to Maa Baglamukhi and a final round of mantras and prayers. Perform the aarti, seek her blessings for success in your endeavour, and distribute the prasadam (sweets and fruits) among your family members, friends and yourself.
Please note that specific mantras and procedures may vary among different traditions and practitioners. Conducting such pujas should be done with proper guidance from a knowledgeable priest or guru, and with due ethical and moral consideration. True success is not just celebrity status but using one’s talents to contribute positively to the world — perform the puja with a pure heart and noble intentions.
