“Visuals of Bhadrakali idol in Telangana closing its eyes during abhishekam with turmeric water”
What FACTLY found
Video shows idol of Goddess Bhadrakali at Bhadrakali Temple of Warangal, Telangana. The eyes of the idol remain normal when abhishekam is performed with low-viscous liquids like water, milk, and ghee. When thick turmeric water or kumkum water is used, the eyes appear to be closed due to the formation of a layer on the eyes
