The calm atmosphere of the temple situated in the middle of the palace was a place of consensus and devotion. The scent of agarbatti (incense sticks) blowing slowly and creating a blissful environment soothed her mind and spirit. She closed her eyes praying for the welfare of the kingdom and the life of her husband.
The priest offered the prasad (sacrament) to her with his blessings. She closed her eyes, joined her hands once again showing her faith in the almighty.
