"Miraculous Escape": 21 Tamil Nadu Pilgrims Return From Nepal, Recount Horror
For 21 pilgrims from Tamil Nadu, returning home on Friday was nothing short of a second birth.
Kathmandu: Nepal faced its worst natural disaster in recent memory as flash floods swept through the country on Wednesday, resulting in over 626 fatalities and more than 2,000 people still unaccounted for. Pilgrims from 30 nations were impacted by the calamity, including a group of Tamil Nadu residents who were on a spiritual journey to Mount Kailash.
The Tamil Nadu pilgrims, comprising 60 people in three buses, recounted their terrifying ordeal after being rescued, crediting their survival to the intervention of Lord Shiva. Among the 60 Tamil Nadu pilgrims, 40 remain missing after the disaster. Describing their harrowing experience, the survivors stated, "We saw Lord Shiva's face on the mountain as the water came hurtling towards us."
The group expressed gratitude for the divine intervention, as their journey to pay homage to Lord Shiva was abruptly halted due to the disaster. The devastation left behind on the hillside bore striking resemblance to the deity, as evidenced by photos shared by the survivors.
