The place: A Hindu temple, New Delhi, India. Traffic around the temple snarled as the curious rushed to witness a statue of the elephant-headed God Ganesha drink offerings of milk. A worshipper had described holding a spoonful of milk next to the statue’s trunk and watching in amazement as the milk disappeared! Apparently, the statue had miraculously consumed the milk.</p> Wed, 13 Mar 2024 19:13:39 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 9867 at /oss
