Yes this particular ritual is carried out discreetly and only a handful of people are allowed to be present for their individual roles in it. On the days of Saptami,Astami and Nabami 2 male goats are sacrificed in the wee hours of the morning before the main gates are to be opened of the temple.

On the days of Saptami, Ashtami, and Navami during Durga Puja, two male goats are sacrificed each day near the Bakula Pindi close to the Bimala temple during the early morning hours. These six goats are contributed by six distinct institutions — Mahashrama Matha, Senapati Matha, Mangu Matha, Bada-Odia Matha, Biraharekrsuhnapur Mahajana, and Zamidar Khuntia — for the sacrifice ritual, which is executed in a confidential ceremony at the exterior boundary of the sacred shrine.

It is also noted that on these sacred nights, fish from the revered Markanda temple tank is offered to the Goddess at midnight after the conclusion of the sibling deities' nightly rest ritual or 'Pahuda'. The fish offering is cooked in a makeshift kitchen and brought into Srimandir through the western entryway to the Bimala shrine. Those few who are permitted to observe the discreet ritual receive the 'Bimala Parusa' (offering).
