The Unknown Enters Subterranean Vault Scene
A Hindoo descends to a subterranean gallery beneath a temple to present a stranger to a veiled noblewoman. She commands obedience as she reveals an iron gate and a stark vault lit by a lamp beside a granite altar once used for human sacrifice to Siva. The scene shifts toward the earth’s entrails as a palanquin awaits.
