About Nalkheda Baglamukhi Mandir
Located along the bank of river Lakhundar, the Nalkheda Baglamukhi Mandir is one of the three Baglamukhi temples in India. Devotees pray to the goddess for overcoming challenges and enemies and having a winning position in life. According to legend, the temple was set up in the time of Mahabharata.
Yellow is the colour of the goddess, so several visitors wear yellow attire and have turmeric, yellow flowers and sweet as puja offerings. The maximum crowd is on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Navratri days; mornings on weekday are the preferred for easier darshan timings. Doors open early in the morning and close later at night so checking with locals beforehand is highly recommended.
