In the quiet heart of the jungle, a wandering sadhu stumbled upon a half-buried Shiva idol glistening faintly beneath the moss. Overcome with devotion, he gathered leaves, river water, and wildflowers the only offerings the forest would grant him. Beneath the fading light, his trembling chants rose through the trees, as if the jungle itself bowed to the forgotten god once more.
