Lost Treasure

Look beneath

Maid came with a pot of tea and a letter on the tray. She looked at Sirsi and left the tray on teapoy.
As soon as the maid stepped out, Sirsi rushed to see the letter on the tray. she hoped to see a way out from this prison. Maybe she will help Sirsi thought.. But no! The letter read:

Time has come together, dreams of our father has indeed come closer than ever.
Sirsi, I hope you would start the below task tomorrow.

Attached was a copy of the palm leaf and it's deciphered text. Nalan also read it. Why does he want you to do it when he is fully capable of doing it?
Sirsi remembered her grandfather saying... "It's this hand that will put my soul to rest"

The text read as below:

Heaven lies above earth, the breath lies below the foot of Shiva.

This message is very common, how can someone know anything from this?
I know! Muttered Sirsi
Nalan was surprised with Sirsi's response. I had received a Nataraja statue from grandfather remember? Asked Sirsi.
Well it wasn't just a statue Nalan, grandfather had engraved a verse about the destinations on the statue and left it to me..
If Chettiar's son knew the destination why is he torturing us like this??
Well I don't know that Nalan ..
So where are these destinations??
There was a knock on the door. Both went mute and tried to remain casual.
Nalan unlocked the door. The maid came with another tray but had covered it with a silk cloth.
Nalan went over the teapoy, the cloth had already given a picture of what's inside. He took the Nataraja statue in his hand and looked at Sirsi.
They have been listening to us Nalaa...
Of course! Said him.
Next day morning, she offered some flowers and said shlokas to the idol, she missed seeing Nataraja!
The maid came inside to give her the breakfast and said that the boat is waiting below.
She set foot on the sand, it really felt like she was in a prison!
Nalan was held captive in the mansion, it was only Sirsi who was allowed on the boat.
All this for the gold?? She said to herself. I would never want chettiar to have this secret or anybody for that matter.
She sat on yacht and wondered if she would be alive in this fight!
After sailing for a day and night, she reached the shores of Srilanka.
Car was already waiting for her outside the port, Chettiar's family controlled everything here. There is no help other than her god, she was silently taken to their temple.
Tears came running as she saw their shiva temple, where she was running around like a kid.. memories surrounded every block of the temple. Her father would carry her above his shoulders to ring the bell! She still doubted if he was dead.. as they never saw his body.
She worshipped the temple, they were decorating the temple for the occasion of mahashivarathiri..
As she was completely soaked in her memories, her eyes glanced at a man looking at her. She went closer, it was Bobby! She ran towards him.. Bobby and Petros have been in temple for so long but they never expected to see Sirsi just like that wandering around the temple. Come let's get out of here!! Bobby held her hands...
It's that moment that he realised Sirsi wasn't alone, guards were around her observing her every single move.
Seeing Bobby restored her long lost happiness, the trio sat near the mantap as they read the text they deciphered.
But why should we do this? Asked Petros.
They have Nalan in the mansion locked and also Measha is also been observed.
We were constantly been observed by Chettiar's family.
Sirsi I need you back, I promised pappaa I would bring you back... Petros begged her to agree to their escape plan but she refused to go without Nalan.
It ends here!!... I'll end it... Said boldly.
Where do we go now??
It starts here Petros, the clue begins from here.
She narrated that her grandfather, mentioned that the sages came to this temple first and they parted away to 5 places to hide the ingredients to the Rasam.
So where is it?? Chettiar's family know it??
No he had taken control over the temple to figure it out, they had dug many parts of the temple in the name of renovation but they weren't able to get any clues.
Also, the text on the palm leaf has been carved a circle on the top right corner. Am unsure what it means said Sirsi.
Well, we need to start looking for clues or any unusual carvings said Bobby. They searched every bit of the temple and the big lake outside the temple, booby took a closer look at the doors and ceilings as well but all looked normal.
Petros had also been allowed to see Sirsi's house, to find any clues.
They rested in the same house, lying down on the mat.
Next day morning, people flocked to temple on the occasion of mahashivarathiri, this made it difficult for the trio to explore the temple further.
She attended the puja and sang to tunes of the sangeeth held in the temple.
As the sun started to set, she was completely mesmerized in seeing different alankars of the Nataraja. She was in deep devotion and wasn't worried about anything ahead.
Entire night passed by singing and listening to Shiva Puranam, Sirsi was fasting as well. She wasn't sure what to wish but offered her genuine prayers with deep devotion.
Next day after mahashivarathiri, she wanted to break her fast by offering milk to Nataraja. Unfortunately the priest had stepped out, she stood near the god and looked at him deeply, priest disrupted and asked for the milk that she was holding. He poured the milk over the idol, she watched as the abhisheka was done, the milk gently washed over few rose petals and made it to the foot of the lord.
"Look underneath".. " the first clue says look under the lord's feet!!!"

She couldn't believe it.. will this be true?? Sirsi had second thoughts about her guess.
