but most of the people who are served are family members or friends.
Khole ké Hanumanji Mandir is very popular amongst the locals, though not on the tourist maps, every tuesday thousands come for the evening Aarti (Prayers, with plenty of sounds of ringing bells and gongs) The arti is the most sacred of all the rituals and is basically the head priest taking "holy fire" lamp and moving it ritually in circular motions, accompanied by a cacofony of bells and gongs, literary to awaken the lord.
Tuesday is the day of Hanuman the monkey god.
