As per a Dainik Bhaskar report, people from nearby villages are reaching Narmadapuran to meet Jyoti Raghuvanshi. Some are reaching to seek blessings, while some are asking for solutions to their problems. It has also come to fore that the first video had surfaced on March 18 and after this many videos were uploaded continuously till April 8.

Worshipped as 'Narmada Devi'

Notably, the elderly woman was missing for 10 months before a video of her walking on river Narmada went viral. It was later revealed that the water level of the river was low at that spot, and the woman was walking on the riverbed itself. Due to the low water level, it appeared as if she was walking on water, which led to the rumor and claims of a miracle.The police interrogated her, and she denied being an incarnation of any goddess.

Jyoti later explained that she was on a pilgrimage to circumambulate the Narmada River which she began on May 9, 2022 after taking part in a Shiv Mahapuran katha by Pandit Pradeep Mishra.
