"Miracle lake" in India attracting hordes of believers...

A dried-up and polluted lake in eastern India has become a major pilgrimage site attracting thousands of people a day after claims that its mud cures cancer and other diseases.

At the lake in Nakali village, 70 kilometres (45 miles) south of Kolkata, families smear each other in the dark, gluey "miracle mud", defying government attempts to prevent the site becoming a religious attraction.

Each Tuesday and Saturday -- auspicious days for Bengalis -- large crowds of devotees who have travelled from across the region gather before dawn to completely immerse themselves in the sludge at the bottom of the small lake. More...

Don't miss:

  1. Tourists flock to 'Jesus's tomb' in Kashmir...
  2. God visits Indian village ... as a turtle!!!
  3. Hand-pump in India distrubtes "miracle" water...
  4. Solar eclipse makes pregnant women in India jittery!!!
  5. "Miracle" baby born in India with two faces, four eyes, two noses, two mouths...
