The ritual is simple but profound. Pilgrims walk around the temple’s sanctum 11 times while making their wishes. If their prayers are answered, they return to complete 108 circumambulations as an act of gratitude.

This practice began in 1984 when a priest noticed a miraculous event—a stream of water appearing before a shrine as he walked around it. Since then, the temple has become famously known as the “visa temple.”
