yesterday while borwsing through the news channel i can across an interesting peice of news . Here in India , it seems the Idols have started accepting milk from their devotess and there were thousnads of people flocking in various temples of north india to offer milk to these idols.This happened around in the evening here and as soon as news came on the TV people rushed out from their homes to offer milk They were offering the milk with a tea spoon and its really shocking to see to many people beleiving this blindlyeven though persons from the media tried to clear away their supoerstitions but nobody took them. The milk that was offered either fell down or was abosbed into them. The reason behind this is that the materials from which the idols were made have high capillary action and hecne milk entered the pores of this idol which people thought it was these idols accpeting this milk

I'm sure it's probably due to what the statues are made of. It's a bit worrying really that people are so desperate for something to believe it Did you know that people used to leave milk out for The Good People to stop the fairies making mischief around their homes?

INDIA is a place where everything will be happen... same case came into light 3 years ago... many thought the priest is sucking the milk by hiding behind the idols,others said that their was a electrical motor inside the idol which was turn on to suck the milk....... truth not disclosed... its an illusion, may be milk is absorbed due to high capillary action of the materials by which they are made.. wait the media will get some solution for this soon...
