Khagenkot is a former village development committee in Jajarkot District in the Karnali Province of Nepal.

While going to Chitripatan as a herdsman for animal husbandry, Rishi's Eldest two sons saw the current place called Maide as a flat land and being so fascinated by the fertile and suitable land of Maide, he did not go home from Chitripatan.

At the same time, Samal Banshi Jagde Ussaha of Jumla's Sinja Samarkot along with his limited army went to Tripurakot of Dolpa through this route.

There is a legend that seeing the fertile land and suitable climate here, instead of going to Dolpa, he started running the state by making Khagenkot as the central capital of this region.

There is a custom of not allowing people from other places to worship in the temple of Mai Bhagavati.

Once upon a time, the king of Khagankote was cursed by Churma Jaisi Laket in the name of Jajeman for mass murdering his brothers in Lah and committing that sin.

On the day of Ashtami, a goat is sacrificed at the hero's house and all the present devotees, without burning the weapons used by the king's soldiers, worship together in the Maulo in the temple of 6 Maibhagavati.

On the ninth day of Navadurga, along with Ramnabami, Khagenkot Shaktipith Bhagwati's Thana is a mandatory sacrifice.

After the Bull (Male Buffalo) is sacrificed, a historic Khadonach is performed to celebrate the victory of truth over falsehood.
