Sign of the power of creation

During this fair, when religious rituals are being performed here, a white cloth is placed in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. When the doors of the temple are opened again, this cloth has turned red. This is called Rajaswaala Vastra, which is given to the devotees as prasad.

When this event is organized, a large number of practitioners of Tantra Kriya and those who are engrossed in secret sadhna reach here from all over the country. They do the sadhna of Maa. At this time, the atmosphere here is very important from the religious and spiritual point of view.
