Before the ceremony, CM visited the temple, offered prayers to Maa Baglamukhi, and prayed for the happiness and prosperity of Madhya Pradesh’s people. Accompanied by Vedic chanting, he performed Bhoomi Poojan for the first phase of the grand Devi Lok project.

CM Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Bhoomi Poojan had been performed for the first phase of Maa Baglamukhi Devi Lok in Nalkheda, at a cost of ₹85.40 crore. The glory of this sacred place is extraordinary, and Maa fulfils the wishes of her devotees.
Following the inauguration of Shri Mahakal Lok in Ujjain by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the entire Malwa region has witnessed a transformation in its atmosphere. Development works for Maa Baglamukhi Devi Lok are now being accelerated. He added that the roads and culverts along the route to Nalkheda would be widened wherever necessary to ensure smooth traffic movement.

Road, rail and air connectivity to the area is also being strengthened. He said that a grand and divine shrine of Baba Baijnath was also being developed, and Maa Baglamukhi’s shrine would similarly be transformed into a magnificent spiritual destination.
