Religion, or irony?

For centuries hundreds of thousands of Hindu pilgrims came to the Kashmiri mountain shrine to worship at the 12 foot tall stalagmite. It was made of ice and they believed it was an incarnation of the Lord Shiva, the Hindu God of regeneration and destruction.

But over the many years the body heat of so many faithful began to melt the stalagmite until recently, in the early years of the 21st century, it disappeared. It's gone.

It's a miracle.
