One of the famous temples of Devi in Kathmandu , the temple of Baglamukhi is situated in Patan ( Lalitpur ). There are various other small temples inside the Baglamukhi temple premises and this temple is specially crowded on Thursdays as it is considered as the day of Bhagwati. According to the legend, a demon named Bagala had tortured and threatened the lives of the people. The people worshipped and prayed to the goddess Baglamukhi who, pleased by their prayers, came to their rescue and killed the demon. Hence, the people built the temple as a tribute to the goddess and used to call it Bagala . Later, the name of the temple was changed to Baglamukhi . The temple is ruled by the planet Jupiter and Thursday is considered as the special day for worshiping at the temple.
