Ganesha drinking milk miracle

Common card · No. 370019

The Ganesha drinking milk miracle was a phenomenon which occurred on 21 September 1995, in which statues of the Hindu deity Ganesha were observed to be drinking milk offerings. The event is considered one of the largest claimed mass miracle events in modern history, so much so that milk was sold out within hours. The news spread very quickly as Hindus around the world tried to feed idols of Ganesha with milk, which attracted significant attention in Indian media. The phenomenon involved millions of Hindus worldwide, and was seen in India, Nepal, Malaysia, Europe, North America, Kenya, the UAE, and Fiji, amongst other regions. Reports of such miracles have occurred after, but never to the same scale. Scientific investigations have described the incident as occurring through capillary action.
