CM: "Others wind slowly uphill through the alleyways, thrusting a path between inert and wallowing cows. There is a double row, at least two hundred strong, of beggars squatting round the temple. At the threshold, dirty water for the washing of feet. Before the altar hangs a thong which all must pull to set the bell booming for God to hear. The black phallus in the inner santum, adorned with flowers, is watered all day long from a bronze basin hanging from the ceiling. A cow smells its way in." [Ghika in India]
