Baghamari is a village located in the Western part of Khordha district in the Indian state of Odisha.

In times prior to Independence of India (1947), the area was deeply forested and populated with wild animals.

The first mention of this village in chronicled history appears in the Madala Panji entries recorded during the reign of Gajapati Shri Mukunda Deva Maharaj, the last of the Gajapatis of State of Orissa and Khurda King Raja Ramachandra Dev-I.

This Gajapati Mukunda Deva's summer residence was transferred to the village Baghamari during the heights of Paika Rebellion (Mutiny of the Peasant Warriors) of 1817 A.D. Baghamari remained the main centre of strategic resistance for a short time during that period.

Thereafter, the village appears in military history of Orissa as chronicled by the war records-keeper Shri Brajanath BadaJena.

Forces of urbanization and globalization have led to emergence of 'pull' factors like better employment opportunities, higher income earning potential etc..

These have resulted in out-migration of large numbers of inhabitants of the village Baghamri to nearby townships of Khurda and city of Bhubaneswar, creating geographies of economic displacement.

In 2016, first time mela is arranged by Odisha tourism department for three days with a cultural programme.

The junction divides the SH-1 to two parts one goes with SH-1 to Balangir and other one goes to the famous Kantilo where Nilamadhab temple is situated.
