Though it’s not uncommon among devotees to donate jewellery, cash and other immovable assets to their revered lord, as per her own account, Rameswari Devi felt a connection with Lord Jagannath and influenced by the Lord's aura she decided to donate all she had.

“I came to Puri to donate my land and houses to Lord Jagannath,” said Rameswari.
“Right now I am staying at a Dharmasala in Puri. After the donation process gets over, the Supreme lord will be my guardian. I’ll go wherever he sends me to,” Rameswari added.

“The donation process should get over as soon as possible. If something happens to me, as I am not getting any younger, my relatives will usurp the land,” said a worried Rameswari.

She urged the Temple administration to send their representative to her village from where all the legal process regarding the transfer could be completed.

However, the Ritual Administrator (Niti Prasashak) of Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) has reportedly sought a written consent for donation from the woman before they can proceed with the transfer process.
