Most people in the north prayed to Goddess Kali. It was the Kali temples that were more prominent and common. When Surya expressed the desire to offer a prayer ceremony at a Shiva temple for his wounded uncle, Vidyut immediately knew where to take him to. It was the only one in the region and one that Vidyut had forged a special connection to. He had discovered the Shiva temple as a child by accident, exploring the outskirts of the city and stumbling upon a dust-covered ridge that faintly looked like a step.
Being a curious child, Vidyut followed the ridges up the gentle hill until the steps became more prominent and stony. Little Vidyut's lanky legs tired after he continued to climb for hours and hours, but he did not give up, still very eager to discover what was at the top of those stairs.
