There are certain strange traditions here it in this imposing ancient temple. One amongst such peculiar traditions is that, whatever is offered to the Lord Mahakala can be offered again and again after duly washing. This kind of offering of the same item for the second time is honored, for it was ordained in the dim past. Nowhere such practice is observed in India. For, once if anything is offered to God, it is final and only the giver receives it back as mahaprasad, and deemed unfit for further offering to any god. Is not Mahakala combining Karuna and Samhara in himself; the most strangest among the Strangest? Some reoffer the bilva leaves after duly washing them again. Sivapurana deals this topic at length and justifies it with proof. The visitors usually taking bath on the Ratnaghat of the river Sipra flowing nearby. worship the Lord with great devotional favour accompanied by 'Harahara Mahadev' slogans which reverberating the entire region rend the skies to reaching the Kailas to awaken him, as it were to grant them boons.
