The temple is renowned for the sacred offering called Khir (sweetened condensed milk).

Its beautifully decorated entrance, colorful architectural details, sacred rituals, and peaceful surroundings make it an important religious and cultural attraction of Baleswar district. Visitors come not only to seek blessings but also to experience the temple’s rich history, devotional traditions, and distinctive spiritual atmosphere.
