The entrance of the temple is decorated with huge sculptures of elephants. An important tradition in this temple is the sindoor ceremony where married women apply red powder on each other's foreheads. Sindoor is considered a sacred symbol of marriage for Hindu women, and thus the ceremony holds an important place in the lives of these women.<ref name="ixigo"/><br />
