When someone was dying or had just died, an appearance in front of these statues, returns them briefly to life before finally expiring. The power of Manav kept the person alive, while Danav took the person's soul to Lord Vishnu's abode. Another cave near this place is called Dhundhi Odaari in the local Jaunsari language. "Dhundi or Dhund" means "misty" or "foggy" and "odaar or odaari" means "cave" or "hidden place". The local people think that the Pandava took refuge in this cave to save themselves from Duryodhana.
