"Sanchi, mandir?" Abhimanyu questioned, raising an eyebrow. "That too early in the morning?"

"Haa toh, Bhagwan toh subah chaar baje uth jaate hain," Sanchi replied with a smile, implying that the gods wake up early.

"Sunday ko bhi?" Abhimanyu asked stupidly, realizing his mistake as soon as the words left his lips. Sanchi gave him a look, and he wisely chose not to continue the conversation further.

They got down from the car after parking on the side and started walking towards the temple. They removed their footwear at the entrance and stepped inside. Sanchi bought prasad to offer in the temple, and as they were about to enter the garbhagriha (the main sanctum), she pulled the dupatta over her head, a sign of respect and humility.

As they entered the garbhagriha, they were struck by the majestic sight before them. A beautiful, large statue of Shiv Ji towered above, with Parvati Maa seated gracefully on his left side. Ganesh Ji sat serenely in the middle, while Nandi, the loyal bull, stood guard on the right side of Shiv Ji, facing towards the divine statue. A grand Shivling, symbolizing the cosmic axis, was also prominently placed, radiating an aura of spiritual energy.

Sanchi rang the holy bell, its melodious sound filling the air, followed by Abhimanyu. She offered the prasad to the pandit and clasped her hands together in reverence, her eyes closed in prayer.
She nudged Abhimanyu to do the same. Abhimanyu hesitated for a moment, but then followed suit, his hands clasped together in a gesture of respect. As he opened his eyes, he turned towards Sanchi, who was lost in her prayers, her face radiant with devotion. Abhimanyu had no idea what she was asking from God, but seeing her like that filled him with a sense of happiness and peace. He closed his eyes again, and began to pray too, his heart filled with a sense of connection to something greater.

As they emerged from the temple, they were greeted by a vibrant marketplace. Sanchi's eyes sparkled as she spotted a shop selling bangles and earrings. She hurried towards it, Abhimanyu following closely behind. Inside the shop, Sanchi eagerly scanned the various sets of bangles on display.
