Soon this news spread like wildfire throughout the area. After this people took Pindi out and Mata gave darshan to everyone. However, after Pindi was taken out, there was a dispute among the people of Mandi and Hamirpur regarding the establishment of Pindi. Both parties wanted to establish Mata in their respective areas. Meanwhile, the people of Mandi picked up Pindi and started walking. After walking some distance, the people of Mandi kept Mata's Pindi in one place and started resting. When the people of Mandi started lifting the Pindi back, even after applying a lot of force, the Pindi did not lift. After this, Pindi was established here with the consent of all the people.
