To fully solve that problem, 6,000 lamps can be lit at the same time in this lamp house built in the mother’s temple. Devotees can immerse themselves in Goddess worship by lighting an Akhandeep for Mother. A landmark project like Samalei is going to be the perfect medium to give the temple of Maa Samaleswari a grand appearance and give a divine feeling to the devotees.
