I was surprised how easy the whole process was. From puja booking to darshan, Namah Karo handled it all perfectly. Felt deeply connected during the rituals. I recommend the service of Namah Karo to anyone planning to visit Baba Taraknath without the usual rush.
Kankalitala Kali temple is one of those rare temples where faith meets peace. I've been here twice, and every time I feel a deep connection with the goddess. The temple is not very crowded with formalities. You can pray in your own way. It's especially beautiful during Poush Sankranti. Thanks to the team Namah Karo.
It was a privilege to visit Baba Baidyanath Temple, Deoghar by the help of Namah Karo . They gave clear instructions. I’m pleased and satisfied 😊. I will highly recommend Namah Karo for better experience 🤗
