  Devi Than (Temple of Goddess), where worshipping of gods and goddesses take place, is located in a very beautiful location slightly West North of Tamagi village. In front of the Devi Than is a wooden stand known as "maula" with shredded fabrics (dhajas) placed on the top. This is where slaughtering of animals and birds are carried out by devotees in a ritual sacrifice. This has been a tradition for many years. However, as the time changes, the perception of the people seems to be changing as well; as the recent events have highlighted that the practice is more or less on the decline now. Tamagians also have a Baraha Than right above the village, where similar rituals are carried out as a tradition. May god bless us all Tamagians all over the world! rbg
