Above the entrances and elsewhere around the temple are closed-circuit TVs showing the Deity, but the pilgrims are not much interested
To have darsana of the Lord during arati is auspicious, but the aratis last only a few minutes, so there’s a tremendous rush. Inside the temple,the security forces blow whistles to control the crowd but they have very little effect as thousands of people push and shove their way around one another. No one seems to mind them. The Lord’s big eyes look kindly upon His devotees. Everyone is happy chanting the Lord’s names and having His darsana.
Apart from Ranchor Raya, Dakor is also famous for gota, lota, and phota. Gota means a local variant of pakora (batter-dipped, deep-fried vegetable) made with coarse chickpea flour and fenugreek leaves and served with yogurt. Lota means a drinking cup; many copper, steel, and aluminium lotas are available in Dakor. Phota means a photo of the deity. These are the things people like to buy.
