A number of
people have flocked to a junior high school in Bali’s Bangli district to view a
statue of a Hindu goddess that students say began shedding tears after
Thursday’s earthquake.
The statue,
which is of the goddess Saraswati, sits three meters high in a water fountain
in the courtyard of SMPN 1 in Susut.
The alleged
tears were first spotted by students, and their claims are now being taken up
by school officials who say the tears are a symbol of Thursday’s disaster,
which saw dozens of people injured.
“The statue
looks like a person crying,” said Dewa, a student at the school. “We were
surprised.”
Sukarsana,
the school’s headmaster, said that after inspecting the statue, he believed it
was in fact shedding real tears.
“We, the
school, plan to ask for suggestions from paranormal experts to understand the
phenomenon of the goddess Saraswati crying,” he said, as quoted by Okezone.
