It apparently happens with some frequency throughout Southern India...usually a goddedss who gets peeved that Her Temple is being neglected, or people have been traveling out of the way to attend newer, bigger, nicer shrines to every Drapaudi-come-lately and ignoring the little pile of rocks right outside the door.
