How was the daily temple chanting ritual performed, with what lamps and offerings?
Two four-faced lamps — one for Mahabhairava, one for Mahabhairavi — were lit with mustard oil and ghee, and 27 mala cycles were chanted seated between them, with Imarti sweet and curd offered and later given to dogs and poured near the temple entrance.
