Of various Pujas, the evening ‘Aarati’ at the banks of Bangmati river on the eastern side of the temple draws people in hordes.
This evening rituals with a band singing hymns in praise of god, playing of classical instruments, chanting of Vedic mantras, ringing of bells, burning of incense, and lighting of oil lamps, keep the people spellbound throughout. The ritual makes the evening environment dazzling.
