Hundreds view 'sweating' statue

StatueHundreds of Hindus in Nepal are flocking to see a statue of a deity which is said to be "sweating".

Devotees believe the apparent perspiration is a sign of impending turmoil or natural disaster.

The statue of Bhimeshwor, who is worshipped as the Hindu God of trade and commerce in Nepal, has reportedly been sweating since Saturday.

The statue is located in Dolakha district, 70km (43 miles) east of the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu.

Sceptics say the appearance of moisture on the surface of the statue is probably caused by condensation.
