Reports say that God appeared in the dream of a man living in Umayyal Puram, Kilinochchi last Thursday (25) and told him, “Tomorrow you will see a wonderful sight at a certain place and find great treasure.”

Later on Thursday (25) it was said that the man went to graze the cow, during which he saw a shrine of Lord Ayyappa emerging from the ground with a flood of light, and the statue seems to be at the said site.

A few related videos are being shared on social media in regard to the above said incident.

However, people who visited the particular site said that this was a false narrative.  It was clarified that the statute of Lord Ayyappa had been there at the particular site for the the last several years.
