Every year during navratri, childless women from Himachal and neighboring states visit the temple with the wish to become mother. When they visit the temple they sleep in the temple campus at the floor.

During the stay Maa Simsa give a sign to the women in the dream. What a women sees in the dream decides if she will be blessed with a child or not. This process is commonly known as Salindra (सलिन्दरा,) in local language which means dream.

If women see any fruit, vegetable etc, this means she will be blessed with a child. However if in the dream she sees wood, stone or metal then its a signal that she won't. Important thing is that whatever fruit or vegetable a women watches in her dream, the family has to offer that to Goddess later with the new member of the family.
