 In most other major temples with explicit Shakta and Tantra functions which require blood sacrifice and the use of alcohol, Rajopadhyayas are absent, and the priestly functions are performed by the Chatharīyā/Kşatrīya-status Karmāchāryas.Most of the other Shakta or Ganesh shrines are maintained by the farmer Jyapus or by unclean-castes like the Jogi/Kapali or the untouchable Chyāmaha/Déula.There also exists slightly lower status Maithili-speaking Jhā and Mishra Brahmans who migrated to Kathmandu Valley in the medieval times, but are nevertheless not part of the Rajopadhyayas.
