According to religious beliefs, the wishes of the devotee who participates in the Bhasma aarti of Baba Mahakal are fulfilled. 
Talking to ANI, Rupali said, “I came here for the first time in 2020 and when I sat in the main temple, I got a call for ‘Anupama’. So it was a kind of blessing. Since then I always come here whenever I feel like it. Today’s puja is so sacred that I am in tears. Jai Mahakal.” 

‘Bhasma aarti’ (offering with ashes) is a famous ritual here. It is performed during the ‘Brahma Muhurta’ between around 3:30 and 5:30 in the morning.
