The priest of the Rudranath temple. He stays here through 6 months. Though these are supposed to be summer, monsoon and autumn months, its severly cold throughout. Commendable. Of course the returns in the form of dakhshina (term for the recompense paid by the sacrificer for the services of a priest, originally consisting of a cow).
