For The Faithful Outside Madras

The 28-year-old Mangala Vinayagar temple on the Panadiyan Kovil Street in Krishnapuram Colony is the go-to place now, mainly because of the ghee that has been "coming out" from the head of Hanuman there.
A senior priest had warned not to take photographs of the idol, despite which The New Indian Express manage to store this image for posterity.
Everyday, at 8.30 a.m., a pooja is performed and after a while the idol is covered with ghee, an event called a 'miracle' and one that has been drawing the faithful in increasing numbers. The miracle is all the more precious because ghee is selling at around Rs 400 a litre. 
So am sharing this especially before rationalists and scientists prick this ghee balloon.
