The highlight of this temple is that the priests blindfold themselves to perform the rituals and the devotees are allowed to worship God from a distance of 50 meters.
People believe, Latu Devta is the beloved brother of Goddess Nanda Rajeshwari and hence, every year a special puja is being performed in his honour.
