Om namah shivay.
Om namah shivay.
As a kid, we would be so excited to hear that we are going to Kapileshwar sthan. It is lord shiva's temple and people have faith in him.
Behind the temple there is a lake, where one can take bath before entering the temple. In the compound you would find many shop selling flowers, buckets and other Pooja Samagri. After taking bath, we would rent a bucket and fill it with water from the lake and buy Flowers from the same shop.
Then we would go to the sanctum sanctorum and worship Bhola baba. But when I visited this temple last month, I noticed something I had never noticed before.
The sanctum sanctorum was not clean. The used flowers and leaves were scattered on the wet floor which pilgrims had made muddy.
The pandit ji will come to you so that you take their help in doing pooja in return of money and would ask you to make donation for the maintenance of the temple.
But I dont think they use the money towards it. Nothing has changed in the temple in all these years.
There is market behind the temple where you can buy bangles and bindis and paede and food items, which was my favourite part as a kid.
Very peaceful while I visited in Jan.
