She said Pt Krishan Joo Taploo was ascetic who used to visit Mata Khir Bhawani with his associates off and on and chanted gyms in praise of the Goddess of Tulmulla. During those days there was no shrine and only drops of water oozed out from a mulberry tree in the compound. Pt Ji got an inspiration from the Goddess and gave the water, shape of spring.
She further said he also saw a snake that appeared at the spot where from water oozed out. This was miracle of the spiritual powers and Goddess Ragyja became pleased and appeared at the place, so the place was regarded as the holiest of the holy places of Kashmir.
