Everyday
prayers are held in the morning and the evening. The process of
worship starts from the ‘Thara’ after the bath of images by holy
water supplied from ‘Baba ki Bauli’. The worship and prayer in
other temples follows the sequence. ‘Rot’ (a bread made of raw
sugar mixed with wheat flour and cooked in ghee or vegitable-oil) is
offered as oblation to Baba ji. On ‘Sankranti’ day only ‘halva’
is offered. Food becomes available for public at about 11 a.m. after
oblations in ‘Bhartrihari Temple’. Food in ‘Langar’ can also
be had in evening after the prayer.
Festive
gathering can be seen on every Sunday when ‘Havan Yajna’ is
performed beside the ‘Dhuna’.
People offer ‘Rot’, cash and kinds to Baba ji. A notable rite of
tributing he-goats to Baba ji carries a very interesting legend. It
is told- Baba ji had made the provision of food to a ‘demon’
who, wished to remain at the feet of Baba ji after displacement from
the ancient cave- ‘Gufa’. The
worship and adoration of Baba ji is performed in local traditions by
igniting ‘Dhoop’ and perfume-sticks. Nothing is chanted in
higher tone.
