This narrative is set within the Ajanta caves during the Vakataka period and builds a fictional narrative around a small mistake. The story follows six time-travelling observers who visit the caves to document and understand the sculptural process. In a moment of carelessness, they damage a part of the reclining Buddha statue and attempt to conceal it through a temporary repair. While they managed to leave without being confronted, the sculptor later discovers the damage. The turning point of the story is when one of the girls returns, confesses, and accepts responsibility. Instead of punishment, she is given a chisel by the sculptor and learns how to carve stone under the sculptor's guidance and ultimately restores the statue.
