Banjara ladies hang silver Topla in their hair. It seems very strange that each banjara lady knot several silver ornaments in their hair generally one kilo weight and even this weight does not disturb its hair style while moving here and there. Men wear Dhoti and shirt as their usual dress and you will find them smoking Bidies.
People believe that Goddess is very powerful. During a visit the devotee
goes through the usual ritual of prayer, including vow. Once the wish is
fulfilled devotees will visit temple again next year.
