A mysterious golden liquid has been appearing on the statue of Samayapuram Mariamman at the Samayapuram Mariamman Devasthanam temple in Petit-Raffray, Mauritius. The phenomenon began on October 28 and has been attracting visitors from different regions of the island. The liquid is described as thick and golden, similar to honey, and has been seen on the body of the statue.
According to Iyer Selven Adukhan, the 43-year-old priest of the temple, the liquid appeared during a routine ritual. He had performed the Abhishegham, a ritual bath of the deity, without noticing anything unusual. However, a visitor drew his attention to the statue, noticing that it seemed to be "sweating". The priest then observed the liquid himself and realized that something exceptional was happening.
The priest believes that the liquid is a manifestation of the goddess Mariamman and has tasted it, describing its flavor as similar to honey. He considers this phenomenon a sign of the goddess's power and believes that it will bring peace, health, happiness, and prosperity to the devotees. The temple, built under the Prabhavathi Ghurburrun Charitable Trust, has become a place of prayer and gathering.
The golden liquid has sparked devotion among locals and visitors, with many coming to see the statue and collect a few drops of the liquid as a blessing. The priest believes that these visits are also an opportunity for people to share their concerns and prayers. He hopes that their visit to the temple will bring them serenity and peace.
In Hindu tradition, Mariamman is a goddess associated with health, healing, and protection of families. She is revered in southern India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, where she is worshipped in a famous sanctuary near Tiruchirappalli. The Abhishegham ritual is an important part of her worship, involving the pouring of consecrated elements on the statue.
The priest's faith in the goddess has been strengthened by this phenomenon, and he prays that the liquid will bring sweetness and positivity into the lives of Mauritians. He believes that the goddess will continue to manifest her power and bring peace and prosperity to the devotees.
The temple has become a place of interest and devotion, attracting visitors from different parts of the island. The mysterious golden liquid has added to the significance of the temple, which was built to provide a place of prayer and gathering for the community.
