.
**An ageing temple priest has one last wish. To see the goddess, in person, once before he dies.
One day, a bangle seller takes shelter in the temple premises to escape the scorching heat. A beautiful young lady approaches him and buys some bangles. She tells the vendor to wait for her father who will return shortly and pay him.
The priest returns, and upon hearing the story, realises that it was the goddess who bought these bangles. He goes to the sanctum sanctorum and cries that he spent an entire life for her, but she gave a wandering bangle seller the opportunity to see her in person! He says he will not get up from that position unless she appears to him.
Then, a beautiful hand with those bangles emerges from the water in the temple pond and remains there for sometime for the priest to see it. The priest bow before her**.
