Out of curiosity, she went to the place and sat there and never got up then Villagers came in search of the girl and asked her to come with them but she refused. She told the villagers that she would like to stay there only. She also asked them to perform pujas to her on the day they found them in the place. She immediately became a ray of light-jyoti and disappeared.
