PHILSTAR
INDIA - The Makara Jyothi, or the Makaravillaku, the so-called divine flame which flickers three times atop Ponnambalamedu Hill opposite the Sabarimala shrine in south India's Kerala, is not a celestial occurrence but a fire lighted by men, rather by the officials of the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). High-level sources in the Board itself have admitted that the Makaravilakku is not a celestial manifestation. It is lit by humans and is a complete hoax. "The light is not magic nor even a natural phenomena," sources said on condition of anonymity. [link]
