As the tradition goes, the Royal machetes used in sacrifices of animals before the Goddess are worshiped instead of clay idols during the Durga Puja every year. This practice has been going on from time immemorial under the patroge of the Royal family. However, approximately since 1937-38 it has been a community puja in the area. The puja is going on under the aegis of Upardani Taluk in the area. The taluk encompasses Sajjanpara, Andherijuli, Rajapanichanda, Jobegaon, Rangapara, Bakrapara, Gauripur, Hathaguri, Muraribasti, Kamalpara, Nowapara, Goriapara, Satargaon, Nepalibasti and Bhakatpara. The machetes were taken to the temple amidst performances Ojapali, Dhulia etc. Though the puja begins from Sapthami, sacrifices start from Ashthami when buffaloes will be sacrificed at the puja.
