Noose: In a few depictions, Bagalamukhi Mata retains a noose in one of her fingers. The noose symbolizes her capacity to immobilize and control damaging forces. It represents her energy of stambhana or paralysis. One more etymology suggests that valga means "to paralyze" and symbolizes the strength of stambhana, "paralysis" https://franciscoi543sai2.shoutmyblog.com/profile
