They meet with God Esha through collective New Year celebrations and then get access to return and purification. They also ask God Esha for help to maintain the smooth life as soon as they need. God Xeulsha Belief represents as a non-reflective habit and daily behavior. It’s hard for the locals to pull it away from their life and make special analysis even though they could feel it. But they have such a strong feeling that they should do it, so that they have an unshakeable conviction about how to practice, which makes them rebuilt fuq temple.On the issue of "who is God Xeulsha", for the locals and otherness, God Xeulsha is unanalyzable and analyzable.
