This taand was recorded in a gher (cattle shed) built as a separate space away from the house. It was used as a shrine where a print of a goddess along with a lamp and incense sticks were placed. It was a belief that the goddess would watch over the cattle and the men offered prayers and lit the lamp every morning as a gesture of gratitude.
