According to long‑held belief, the offering of sacred ash changes the deity from a formless presence into a tangible, visible form. After a hour‑long chant, the priest poured holy water and then presented ash on the deity’s forehead. Devotees reported seeing Baba Mahakal appear in a luminous, crowned figure, a moment that many described as spiritually transformative.
