Though several devotees think that the footwear donation shields them from evil, others say it eases from leg pain.
In Gulbarga, Karnataka -- Hundreds of devotees crammed the temple of Lakamma (Hindu Goddess) to praise a two-day annual footwear festival in Gulbarga region of India's southern Karnataka state on Saturday.
Citizens from all across the state touched Gola (B) village to take part in the festival recognized for its exclusive customs and rituals.
Devotees hurry to the temple on the sixth day after festival of lights, Diwali, to get their wishes fulfilled. Once satisfied, they tie a garland of footwear on a tree which is located at exterior parts of the temple.
Devotees have dissimilar views considering the offering made to the goddess. Few trusts that the Goddess wear the footwear and defends people from evil. While others believe, the Goddess reduce them from foot pain if they made these matchless offering.
The 600-year-old temple abodes no sculpture. Gulbarga state government does not state about the temple and its ceremonies. Devotees have insisted scholars to carry out exploration in order to throw light on the temple history and it practices.
Knowingly, such rites are not surprising in temples in India. In India's northwest Rajasthan state, a donation of alcohol is made to a Goddess in her temple.
