Thereafter the devotees plunges into the shallow waters of Manik Ganga for purification, before departing to their everyday lives. The final rite is the Diya Kapeema, where Kapurala (official of the temple) cut water of the river with a sword to ceremonially end the annual festival. The water-cutting ceremony that brings the festival to an official end is held in the Menik Ganga, the morning after the final procession take place on the full moon night.
