It is believed that holy Ganga has made a dive into the nether region and vivified the ashes of the sixty thousand ancestors of king Bhagirath. Devotees come from various parts of the world to take a holy dip in the sacred Ganga River. They offer prayers to Lord Surya (Sun God) and make an urge to wash away their sins on this auspicious occasion. They believe, by doing this they will be led to the path of Nirvana or Moksha. After the rituals, the pilgrims visit the Kapilmuni temple situated nearby.
