Tiruvannamalai, a city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is one of the most religious cities in all of India, with temples of all sizes and almost everyone being devout.

From time to time, one can see religious sights, such as a ragged practitioner walking peacefully down the road, with passers-by bowing to her reverently.

Everything looks divine, except for one problem – the one in the photo is not a practitioner, but an intellectually deficient woman......
The woman's name is unknown, as she always goes out with a variety of distinctive hats, and people call her "Topi Amma".

Mother Hat is a mentally handicapped homeless who looks like every homeless person, with dirty, messy clothes, no bathing, and a sloppy look.
She doesn't seem to be very good at talking, always muttering in her mouth, and when communicating with people, she can only occasionally pop a few words out of her mouth.
However, such a poor woman, for some reason, suddenly became the embodiment of a Hindu god......

The internet is full of short videos of people encountering Topi Amma in Tiruvannamalai, and it's really hard to comment after watching it:
Every time Topi Amma walks down the street, he is followed by a large group of devotees,

Some people are curious to take pictures, and believers will also make gestures to drive away visitors on the side of the road.

Not only that, but in order to express their longing for Topi Amma, many people will stay in front of her and wait for her to pass by and make a five-body bow.

There were even people rolling on the ground following in the footsteps of Topi Amma......
(Difficult to evaluate believers)
Topi Amma was walking down the street while drinking coffee, probably because the coffee was not good, she took a sip and spit it all out, and then threw the coffee on the ground.

As a result, a group of people behind her swarmed up and picked up the coffee she had drunk.

Objectively speaking, such a scene has long been bluffed in front of ordinary people.
But because of Topi Amma's mental disorder, she can always ignore everything around her, and this "reincarnation of the gods" is becoming more and more powerful......

In this way, the number of followers of Topi Amma is increasing.
Although Topi Amma was still unable to speak coherent sentences, it only made the believers more religious, and many believers would take the initiative to help Topi Amma fill in her vague "oracles", and some even said that Topi Amma spoke a long-lost language (Old Tamil......
As for Topi Amma's attitude as if no one was around,
Many of her devotees explained that they understood what Topi Amma was doing, that her "lack of guidance" revealed her profound spiritual wisdom, and that only those who were lucky enough to meet her had the opportunity to be influenced by her and turn their spiritual world upside down......
Believers should be considered to have received the word when they have this part......
Netizens were also stunned after reading it:
"She needs medical help, and so does the woman in the hat......"

"Please tell me it's a pose, whoever it is, please......"

"'India is not for beginners', okay, it seems to be true......"

What can I say, I really don't understand the thoughts of this group of people, I can only say that India deserves to be India.
But then again, Topi Amma does have something to learn from us, that is, no matter how sick the people around us are, just ignore them and live your life......
