The shrine is especially crowded on Tuesdays and Saturdays when animal sacrifices are offered to the deity.

As the command was about to be followed immediately, a person said that he had already sort out a stone image of the goddess kali in the same place where goddess  kali commanded the king to built the temple. The image was then left open with the elements as she commanded over her head a gilded canopy was kept erect with four golden serpents.
