Ritual of Kaul Lavane Public Deposited

The guardian deities communicate their will through the kaul lavane ritual performed by the temple priest on behalf of the devotees. In this ritual, a pair of flower buds, flowers, or leaves are placed by the priest on the upper right and upper left sides of the deity. Depending on which side the flower or leaf falls on first, it is interpreted as a sign of favour expressed by the deity to the question sought by the devotee. A fall from the right indicates a ‘yes,’ while a fall from the left indicates a ‘no.’
