The Five-Color Sacred Stone

In Southern India, a sacred stone reportedly does the impossible: it changes color five times a day.

Shifting through copper, red, gold, and green,

it's considered a living god by millions. But is this a divine miracle,

or a scientific puzzle we have yet to solve At the Kalyanasundaresar Temple in Tamil

Nadu, a sacred stone performs this daily miracle. Worshippers witness the "Pancha Varna,"

or five colors, as the stone cycles through shades of copper, red,

gold, and green. These changes are said to happen like clockwork every

two-and-a-half hours, rain or shine. Legend links the miracle to the sage Agastya.
