Jhanda Rasam

Jhanda Rasam is another revered ritual at Maa Baglamukhi Temple Bankhandi. In this tradition, a flag (jhanda) is hoisted in honour of Maa, symbolising victory, hope and strength. On auspicious occasions like Purnima, Sankranti, Ashtami and Navami, devotees from various regions visit the temple specifically to participate in Jhanda Rasam, each flag representing the prayers and wishes of the worshippers.

The Jhanda symbolises the upward movement of one’s desires, hopes and ambitions, all dedicated to Maa Baglamukhi. By raising a flag at her temple, devotees place their trust and aspirations in Maa’s hands, asking for her blessings to help them achieve success, prosperity and protection against adversity. Just as a flag flies high, worshippers believe that with Maa’s blessings, their lives, fortunes and endeavours will also flourish and soar. The Jhanda Rasam becomes a ritual of hope, bringing devotees closer to Maa Baglamukhi and giving them a deep sense of peace and purpose.

When devotees participate in Jhanda Rasam, they often report feeling uplifted and reassured, as if Maa is watching over them, guiding and protecting their every step. It’s a simple yet powerful experience, a way to feel connected to the divine presence of Maa Baglamukhi and to receive her blessings for a successful and prosperous life.
