There are crematoriums around this temple and Lakhunder river flows nearby. Due to the presence of a crematorium and a river bank, the Tantra Sadhana done at this place gets proved very quickly. This is the reason that during Navratri, people from far and wide come here to perform Tantrik Sadhana.
Mirchi ritual takes place only here
Samidha is generally used in Havan but in Baglamukhi temple there is a tradition of performing Mirchi ritual i.e. Mirchi Yagya for the accomplishment of a special task. This ritual is performed to conquer the enemies. In this ritual, along with whole red chillies, sandalwood, jaggery and mustard oil are also used.
