The word "Bagala" is derived from the word "Valga" (meaning – bridle or to rein in) which, became "Vagla" and then "Bagla".[1] She  has 108 different names (some others also call her by 1108[2] names).

Lakare Prithivi Chaiba Chaitanya Prakrirtita’ (‘Ba’, the first letter of the name – ‘Bagala’, means ‘Baruni’ or ‘She Who is filled with the intoxicating mood to vanquish the demon’. ‘Ga’, the second letter, means ‘She Who grants all kinds of divine powers or siddhis and successes to human beings’. ‘La’, the third letter, means ‘She Who is the foundation of all kinds of sustaining powers in the world like the earth and is Consciousness Herself’.[3]

Bagalamukhi is also called Pitambaradevi, Shatrubuddhivinashini and Brahmastra Roopini and she turns each thing into its opposite.
In the Satya Yuga , a great storm started destroying Creation. The god Vishnu was disturbed and performed austerities to appease the goddess Tripurasundari on shore of Haridra Sarovar, the lake of turmeric. Pleased with Vishnu, the goddess appeared and brought forth her manifestation Bagalamukhi from the lake. Bagalamukhi calmed the storm, restoring order in the universe.[9]

Another tale records that a demon named Madan[10] acquired Vak-siddhi, by which whatever he said came true. He misused it to trouble humans and murder people. The gods beseeched Bagalamukhi. The goddess grabbed the demon's tongue and immobilized his power with Her Gadha. . Madan requested the goddess that he be worshipped with her; the goddess granted him this boon, before slaying him.[11] Bagalamukhi is praised as the giver of supernatural powers (siddhis) or magical powers (riddhis).[12]

[15]Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati is considered to be the center of Tantricism, where there is the presence of temples dedicated to the ten Mahavidyas. A few hundred metres away from the Kamakhya Temple is the temple dedicated to the Goddess Bagalamukhi.
