She coae to be known in Chittor Town of AP as Mastani Ma, Harebhare Ma, Jhatpat Ma. She is almost dark complexion with phenomenal memory, bright sharp eyes with tremendous energy and gifted with psychical and mystical powers to read the destiny, characteristics of a person by merely keeping her fingers on the pulse. She would be wearing green apparels and for which she has come to be known as Harebhare Ma, the greened one.

She has come to be known as miraculous lady for blessing poor, wretched and shattered people. She attends to all the ‘Urs’ festivals of Sufis and Saints. An ardent female devotee was so much enamoured by her that she has built a stone mausoleum in the main thoroughfare of Chittoor town A.P.

In one another chamber she has got fixed on a small mount all the pebbles collected by her from each hillocks where she has sat for meditation.
I had the good fortune to get her blessings. I accompanied my highly place friend, her devotee in a car to Chittoor. It was noon time; she was seated in a corner of the mausoleum, which was being laid with flooring. She received us with smiles with gentleness and all love. She showed us around the three rooms. The masons were chiseling the stones. She opened a tiffen carrier and offered her devotee, my friend and me with rice, sambar, vegetables and pickles. She sat watching us eat. We asked her as to why she was not partaking with us. She gently and slowly mentioned that she has been fasting for half a century and has given up eating any thing. This was quite astonishing. She has been living miraculously on her spiritual powers and strength of her soul.
My friend requested her to check my pulse and say something about me. Gently she held my hand and placed her fingers on my pulse and said that I should not partake sugar, potatoes as I suffer from ailments, which hither to I was not aware. She narrated stories of Prophet pbuh and his most closest companions of preserving secrets and maintaining virtuous conduct. She was full of love and advised me to bear the hardships of life and not to complain, raise grouse and grievances nor grudge or bear spite and forgive the wrongs done by others and remain patient. She prayed for me and advised me to recite God’s names in the manner she recommended and wished me well in life. She asked me to remember her and call out for her help when required. Sudden peace, solace and tranquility dawned on me. I was overwhelmed with her compassion, love and kindness. It moved me and I noticed after a period of time changes occurring in me. It is now 14 years I got her blessings. I cherish her memory every moment. She was hale and healthy blessing large multitudes of devotees, who seek her blessings and help till her peacefully passing away on 17th November 2017.
