DAHOD (Gujarat): Just weeks after claims that idols of Lord Ganesha were drinking milk, a large number of people on Saturday flocked a Jain temple here after some of the devotees claimed that the idols were emitting small droplets of water.
After conclusion of an annual Jain ceremony last evening, the idols began to precipitate water, sources at the temple, located in Mahavir Sheri locality in Gujarat's Dahod town, said on Saturday. The chandeliers positioned on top of the three Gods inside the main temple also began to shake on their own, sources said. As the news of the "miracle" spread, thousands of people, including Jain devotees from this predominantly tribal district, thronged the temple. About 12 statues of Jain Gods located inside the temple had water droplets on them. These water droplets were also seen on some of the walls of the temple, sources claimed. Devotees present at the temple sang devotional song while temple priests offered special pujas to the deities. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list assam@assamnet.org http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
