On the no moon day of the Pitru Paksha, the fortnight of the ancestors, a tribal fair or an Adivasi Mela is held in the temple where Mata is offered various types of pulses and vegetables from the fields like Jowar, Bajra, Cauliflower, etc. This is a reflection of the immense faith and gratitude they carry for Mata Mahalakshmi… for it is Her, The Mother, who nourishes them and their family. There is a tradition of farmers offering their first harvest to Maa Mahalakshmi at this temple every year.
