The idol at Khowai stood in splendid isolation. Twilight had already set in. In the gathering shadows, a few desperate sellers had spread their wares. There was hardly any buyer.
It being off-day, the scene wore a deserted look. There was no blaring mike. Silence reigned supreme. The horned moon peeped out through gently-swaying trees around. Standing a little distance away from the Goddess, I could feel the spirit of the place seeping into me.
I watched sparse people hurrying away. So utterly alone even in the midst of a crowd, I longed to linger there a little while longer.
