Fact Check:

An interesting video purports to show a Natural Fountain Shoots Up in Sky from down below of a Thailand mountain when someone says/chants the mystical word OM in mike. The video is doing rounds on Facebook and video sharing sites along with claims saying some Buddhist saint made the natural magical fountain which is hard to believe. The short video clip shows a small girl shouting OM on mike and the fountain of water surprisingly shoots up. The rise of the fountain water in video is true, but rest of the claims are not facts.

Natural Fountain Shoots Up on OM Chant?

The sound of OM is in fact considered sacred and powerful in Hinduism. However, what is said about the video is not true. Firstly, the location shown in the video is not Thailand, it comes from China. Second, the water fountain rise is not natural, and it does not only happen on saying the word OM. What you see in the video is in fact a sound-control fountain in use at Ningxiang Thousand-Buddha Cave of China. Himalaya Music Fountain produced and installed the artificial voice control system, which is also called Shout fountain or voice-controlled fountain. The Company shared a similar video on YouTube.

When people input a sound (OM or any other) through a microphone, the sound is converted to signals and passed to the control system, which finally controls the height of water spray in the fountain. You can see below, China Xinhua News also shared a video from the location on their Facebook page.
