Reading edition

In Limbdi Taluka, there is a temple of Kālikā Mātā, in whose honour vows are observed by persons suffering from physical or mental afflictions. The attendant at the place is a Brahman, and the worshippers of the Mātā visit her temple on a Sunday or a Tuesday and offer sweetmeats or lāpsi. On the eighth day of Ashvin a havan is made (i.e., offerings are burnt) before the goddess.61
