Devotees were astonished to see this divine form of Mother Goddess, and they started singing the praises of Maa Shakti. I used to visit Jwala Devi regularly in my childhood. Today after many years, when Maa has called me, I wished for everyone's happiness and prosperity, Jai Mata Di," the post read.
