At the festival, the participants (men with oiled bodies) partake in devotional prayers, take a parikrama around the temple and dance to the beats of local instruments.
Bonding with each other and nature, attendees also indulge in some traditional games like gilli danda and build a human pyramid to break the dahi handi.
