On the square in front of the temple stands tall frame red - Sauchingcha (Giant Swing). They were used at the ceremony thanks to Shiva for the rice harvest. Not far from the pole and swing set at the level of the bar swings secured bag with gold or silver coins. Brahmins, swinging on the giant swing (just like Shiva swinging in heaven) tried to grab a bag of coins. The ceremony often ends with the death of participants and has been banned in 30-ies).
