    It is the story of the king of Lohripur, his twelve sons and one daughter. The eldest son became king and the daughter Angarmati became wife of all brothers. In Lohripur everything was made of iron, including food too. Once there was a famine. Everyone in the world except- people of Lohripur went to God. This made God suspicious that whether the king of Lohripur possesses more power than him. God along with Sukhi Chamarin, who knew the trick to cool off hot iron, went to Lohripur and asked for food. They were served with the molten iron soup. Scared with the soup, they asked for water to clean their hands. Sukhi realized that her trick would not work with this iron. Lohripur people searched water in nearby village and meanwhile God vanished. God’s trick worked when villagers touched the water. They lost their ability to eat hot iron and died soon. Angarmati stopped after eating the first spoon and ran to Gond house and jumped into the pitcher of buttermilk. She saved her life along with her son who was born soon after. He was known as Jwalamukhi. He decided to take revenge from God. He caught sun and moon in his iron cage. The Gods came to look into the matter and apologized to him. They acknowledged him as the bravest man.
