The elders of the tea plantations in Munnar say that every morning, when the fog covers the hills, the Virgin Mary walks among the fields protecting the workers. Those who have seen his apparition say he is dressed in white and has jasmine flowers in his hands.

«Cuando la niebla baja, la Madre viene a bendecirnos.»

The workers leave offerings of flowers and fruits in the small chapels that are in the fields.
