blessings. The most popular Shiva

celebration is observed in this
ancient and holy temple. This is a very sacred place to commemorate felicitous
fest by people following Hindu Culture.
Large carcades are carried out within the city with people thronging the
streets to catch a glance of the venerate idol of Mahadeva. Fairs have been
organised and people often fast on the night of Shivratri and sing hymns and
praises in the name of Lord Shiva. Devotees
from across the world pay visit to these temples to get blessed with good
fortune on this revered day. Kanvarias
who wear orange dresses travel a long way bare- footed and bring divine water
in Kamandals to offer on Lingam during Shravana Maas.
