Don’t be surprised to see people taking a dip, praying or even scattering the ashes of their deceased loved one.
The most important attraction of Bhagamandala is the Bhagandeshwara Temple. The temple was built in honour of Lord Shiva. The temple pulls in an astonishingly large crowd during Tula Sakarmana. When you go to Bhagamandala, keep some time aside to meditate, pray and feel at home with oneself.
