In the fertile lands of Kashmir, there once
lived a king who was very fond of hunting. One day when the king was going to the forest
to hunt, the queen insisted on accompanying
him. He tried to dissuade her but to no avail. They set out for the forest along with the
palace guards. As they reach the forest , fierce
winds start to blow and a storm emerges. The king and the queen get separated from the
others and take refuge in a cave. After the storm blows over they try to find there way
back but are unable to do so.
They
collect fruits from the forest and live on them each day while trying to find there way
back to the palace. One day while trying to find their way they find a small hut in the middle of the forest. To their
amazement they find fairies singing and dancing outside the hut. The king and the queen
hide in the bushes and start watching the fairies. After singing and dancing the fairies
start preparations for Devi Puja and start to cook various items.
The queen
is drawn by the smell of the food and is discovered by the fairies. The fairies take her
and tell her that if she does the puja, her wishes will come true. The queen performs the
puja and when she returns to the cave with the king, they find the palace guards waiting
to accompany them back to the palace
