God is one but has can have many manifestations...Thts why we have thousands of GOD...Its like some person wants to worship the powerful aspect of God..tht is represented as Godess durga...Shiva represents the destroyer aspect...Vishnu the nurturer...sarswati the learning...Its like when u hold water in different vessles it takes its shapes similarly when formless God is imagined in certain way by his bhakts(worshippers) he takes tht form.

Now when a person imagines his God in some way he needs some medium to worship him...Idols are representation of that.

We have pictures of our loved ones through which we remember them similarly idols are representation of God,

Now as for milk drinking and water spouting idols...they r just superstitions.

they have scientific explanations...in saathiya I guess there's a water leakage in the wall behind the krishna's status hence its dripping water...since it looks like water if coming from the idol so people will assume it as miracle.

No wait. I have it! The idol is dripping water. That water is getting wasted. Just like cv's are wasting our time in cm. Its a miracle! I have seen the light! I will not watch cm scenes anymore! Rofl

let me explain.
there is certain lore in india.
in south india kanyakumari, there is a temple it has a tree. the tree has a hollow. inside it has small nature made lingas. the tree is believe to be the reincarnation of bharma vishnu and shiva.
very day early morning 5 am they perform pooja to the tree. liters of milk is poured inside that hollow. exactly 1 hr later, about 18 kms from the temple in the ocean you can see the milk flowing out.
same way a few yrs back there was this ganesha idol made of particular stone. a stone that obserbs water. so when it observed milk it was hiped.
people tried to do it at home. it is just to show the gullible nature of people.
this is india, people want to believe god walking in earth. god who will give them happiness. god who will solve their misery.
there are people who use this for their benefit and take money and cheat in the name of god.
this is the same in the case of urmi. other than that there is no meaning

i remember when people went crazy saying the Ganesha statue drank milk...my mom tried it in our house and it did not work...she lived in fear for a couple of days thinking how she would answer the neighbours if they asked her if the statue in our house took milk..🤣
