Animal sacrifices, particularly of cockerels and uncastrated male goats, are the main way that the goddess is worshipped, and this is especially seen during the Dashain festival.

The temple has more tourist attractions as it is a popular hiking destination located near Pharping village in Nepal.

One version of the origin of her name comes from the story of Yama, lord of death, who lives in the south (Dakshina).

This temple is also situated in the south (dakshin) part of Kathmandu valley.
