In the Ranchhodrai temple of Dakor, devotees took the privilege of robbing the Annakut as part of the age-old tradition. Every year during the Diwali festival, the centuries-old tradition of robbing the Annakut is celebrated with great joy in the Ranchhodrai temple of Dakor. In this tradition, the prasad offered before Shreeji as a symbol of devotion and faith is taken (looted). As per tradition, the Dakor Temple Committee and sevak leaders send special invitation letters to the Darbars of the surrounding 125 villages to participate in the Annakut looting. After the Maha Aarti of Kaliya Thakor is completed, the invited Darbars take a holy bath in the Gomti River, enter the temple and take the religious privilege of looting the Annakut. Devotees believe that sprinkling or keeping this looted prasad in their fields ensures an abundant crop yield throughout the year and increases soil fertility. Consuming this prasad is also believed to bring freedom from diseases and ailments.
