Chapter 9:

Vibhi and the temple.

The time when Isakai comes to your world.


Presently Vibhi had somehow managed to get with the archaeology student. Now, she and the students were welcomed by the young priest as it was planned. The young priest was taking them to the basement by exploring the temple.

While exploring the temple young priest, started to explain the history of the temple," This beautiful architectural temple was made around the fourth century, it is also one of the twenty-four Tara peadth. As legend said, when Devi Tara's body was scattered after she burned herself in purified flames, her body spread out into twenty-four pieces and scattered around the world." Vibhi and other students got excited after knowing this place's aura.

The young priest continued to tell," Well, this place was attacked by many foreign bandits, in order to loot and to destroy our presence. But this place has stood still since it was made. " This brings pride and anger at the same time to the students. They felt pride at the temple and anger at the looter.

Young priest followed on," After so many attacks the place had somehow lost its strength, then in the fourteenth century. Maharaja Ranjit king at that time, rebuilt the place maintaining its originality." While the exploration was going on they found themselves at the entrance of the basement.

Vibhi is thinking," Now I will finally be in the basement hoping Pooki and Sastri-ji were also doing fine." that she thought. Well, what is Sastri-ji doing? Still taking a nap. In his sweet dreams.

Vibhi entered the basement it was dark and a bit weby with spiders, A young priest lit a lamp and said students," Respected researchers, please follow me in there." One of the students asked in curiosity," Why are you still using a lamp? As this place has an excess of electricity, why doesn't the temple put a light here? Even if not possible why don't you use a touch? " Young priest laughed at the question, he answered," Because any type of electrical energy is forbidden over here. From that, I forgot Please submit your phone to the priest in charge of guarding the basement. " he smiled at the student and said," It's a protocol that must be followed."

One of the students making fun of the scenario says," Why are some living here, who feed on electricity?" Young priest replied," For today I don't know. But back then, during the time of the Gupta period. There was a Bhraman very powerful, very smart, who once alone defeated a whole army. But due to some of his illegal practices or ritual over here, it caused a very severe problem. Because of which he was banned from here. Send somewhere unknown. Our ancestors a that time forbade the use of electricity in the temple. Especially in the basement."

Vibhi asked as she knew one of this era," What was his name, if you know?". Young Priest said," We usually don't say his name but, his name is written over there. Don't say his name over here it is also forbidden.". Vibhi was shocked to see, the name was of someone she knew.

Pooki has now, managed to get on the right side, again standing in a line for an hour. This time it was not that painful but as pooki is a small flower, her legs are shaking, regarding her decision of coming here. She took back her command and started the search for the window.

Unfortunately, she was not able to find any windows on the right side of the entrance. She became frustrated with the result. She cried out," After going through so much, I got nothing. Aaaaaa...!" Her anger roared for Sastri, and she made up her mind that she was not able to find anything good. She would not let, Sastri be in peace.

When Pooki was losing all her hopes, she noticed something odd. There was a painting of the temple, right at the same spot where the window should be. When she looked at the left side of the entrance, she was able to find a window. But at the same spot on the right side, there is a painting of the same size. Pooki said with a bizarre smile," Why a painting at this spot, when no one notices it? It all looks fishy to me. I should check this." Pooki is saving sight for everyone, come closer to the painting. She looked around, confirmed nobody was looking. She pulled up the painting for a bit and was able to find the window.

She got happy, so much that even tears came out of her eyes. As she has achieved her destiny. Now, she has to remove the painting but the real problem starts now. Pooki did very much attempt to put off the painting by her own. But she suddenly realised and said in her mind," If I touched the painting I would be thrown out of the temple. And secondly, I can't lift this painting. Plus it is too big for me." Pooki again loses all her hopes.
