In India, devotional drinking with hopes of miracles

July 9, 2001 Posted: 2:55 PM EDT (1855 GMT)

 

 

MAJITHA, India -- With the childless hoping for babies, the unemployed hoping for jobs and the ailing hoping for cures, thousands attended a three-day religious festival in India.

 

They left behind barriers of caste and religion and brought bottles, bags or buckets of alcohol to offer at the shrine of a Muslim holy man, Baba Rode Shah, known for performing miracles.

 

Residue of the thousands of of gallons of alcoholic offerings is distributed among the followers.
