When he saw us, he smiled and without thinking we smiled in reply. We sat at the end of the temple so as not to interfere with his duties. He worked with precision. He knew where and when to do his duties. He was like a robot; very timely and very agile. We kept looking and wondering when Guna would make his move.
After quite a while, I thought Guna was aware when the priest had completed his task when Guna got up and approached him. By then he was sitting cross-legged near the entrance of the temple. Guna went nearer and greeted him. He acknowledged and Guna started his tale about what I had witnessed and the favour asked by the couple.
The priest listened intently and nodded his head now and then. Then he smiled and got up. He came over to where the rest of us were seated. He sat cross-legged in front of us and before. By then, we were quite comfortable and had got over the fear of him. He started talking and asked us a lot of questions. We answered, or rather I answered all I could as truthfully and as close as I could without leaving any details.
