Tasrufdars are believed to be tiny elves, who live in and around water bodies. They are apparently disturbed by human presence and can be harmful. Villagers around Hatbalnag believe that the spring was sacred as tasrufdars lived in it and they would harm anyone who polluted the spring. Some people believe that they can also be found in big old chinar trees.
