Maa Baglamukhi, also known as Pitambara Devi, is depicted wearing yellow clothes and adorned with yellow ornaments. Her complexion is also golden yellow. This predominant yellow color symbolizes transformation, just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly.,The goddess is typically shown holding a club in her right hand with which she beats a demon, while pulling his tongue with her left hand. This symbolizes her power to stun or paralyze enemies and stop their harmful speech. The demon represents negative forces or enemies in one's life.,Baglamukhi sits on a golden throne in a golden pavilion. This represents her supreme authority and divine power. Her third eye symbolizes spiritual knowledge and the ability to see beyond the physical realm.,Understanding these symbols helps devotees connect more deeply with the goddess and harness her transformative energies in their spiritual practice.
