Ritual @ Banashankari Amma Temple

A folklore behind this tradition is, once three Pativratas visited the temple and asked the temple’s pujari to perform Puja in Rahukala. Though the pujari refused to do first, the ladies insists and makes him perform the Puja. After completion, the pujari comes out to offer them the Prasadam, but finds that they have Vanished. The very fact made the people believe that, the visited ladies were Goddesses and offering prayers during Rahukala brings happiness and good things to life.
