Claim: Visuals of Bhadrakali idol in Telangana closing its eyes during abhishekam with turmeric water.
Fact-check: Abhishekam with thick turmeric water forms layer on the idol's eyes thus making them appear closed - FACTLY
Verdict: 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. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
