Rewa(MP): In an attempt to revive a dead child back to life, hundreds of villagers from the Bhiti village on Thursday reached the Kuldevi temple in the Bakshera village in Rewa district with a bone, to worship the goddess with Bhajans and Keertan. The superstitious act was triggered after one of the relatives of the dead child claimed to have seen goddess Kuldevi herself in her dreams, asking her to place the soil from the dead child's burial site in the goddess' feet to revive him back to life.
"Take some soil from the burial site, wrap it in a red cloth and place it on the goddess' feet in the Kuldevi temple. The child will come back to life," said the goddess in her dreams, claimed Anita Kaul, the dead child's aunt. The villagers have claimed that on doing so, the soil got miraculously converted into a flower and the flower then turned into a bone. The bone was kept in the sanctum in the child's house for about 10 days after which it was taken to the said temple, accompanied by a crowd of villagers who agreed to do so on the child's mother's request. The villagers are now waiting for the bone to turn into the child that died about a month ago.
