Not far from Pharping, in a wooded ravine, stands a temple to Kali, the fierce form of Shiva's consort. Sensitive visitors should know what to expect.
Kali is said to thirst for blood, and every Tuesday and Saturday a steady procession of worshippers brings roosters, ducks and goats to be sacrificed to her. The ceremony can be shocking. Non-Hindus may not enter the inner sanctuary, but can watch from outside the enclosure.
