Many Hindu devotees also take fasting for a month and perform rituals at the temple.
Salinadi is also known for the Swasthani Puja, a month-long fasting period where many Nepalese Hindu women pray for the prosperity of their husbands, while unmarried women pray for an ideal husband in the future. The fast is broken only once a day, and the devotees take a holy bath in the morning and wear freshly washed clothes.
