Worshiping of Shakti or Shiva has grown out of the mass religious culture of the people under the spell of Tantrism in the remote past. One such festival is Hingula Yatra or Patua Yatra. There is a popular belief among the local people that on this day of Visuba Sankranti Goddess Hingula appears and propitiation to Her removes all evil forces. She is worshiped in the village street on Her imaginary stride to the village. Offering to Her includes spat new cloth, Pana(sweet-water), butter lamp and green mangoes.
