Mr. Kolketa

VOTE FOR JIMUT BASAK

Boss, this man knows everything.

He was in on Nitai Basak's plan.

Out with it!

I honestly don't know anything.

Nitai is no more.

He's the one who did everything.

Damn it! Not possible.

He could pull off such complicated set ups.

He is capable of much more.

Where is the next tunnel?

Believe me, I don't know anything.

Come on. We don't have much time.

Fine. Since he doesn't know...

Hey!

You'll be at a loss if you kill me.

He has a point.

How much?

One... No... Two... Two lakhs.

Yes.

Yes...

You'll get it.

But first tell us where the next tunnel is.

Nitai had written down the clue in this riddle.

Did you show it to Kolke?

No.

He's going after some owls.

He's on the wrong track.

What's the proof you're taking us on the right track?

We'll never give the real muslin

to Amarendra Sen's daughter.

I have nothing to gain from it.

And I'm not emotional like Nitai.

I just want money. That's it.

"In the heart of Goalpara Dwells the goddess of Farasdanga

In the residence of 'munke bamun' A door hides behind the altar."

Farasdanga is Chandannagar. And the goddess of Chandannagar is...

Goddess Jagatdhatri.

Find out the rest from that fool.

Solve this riddle.

Or get shot.

"In the heart of Goalpara Dwells the goddess of Farasdanga".

The next two lines.

"In the residence of 'munke bamun' A door hides behind the altar."

What does "munke bamun" mean?

-Very easy. -Hey!

A brahmin who lives on the moon.

He's mad at me.

Scratch my back.

Won't tell you if you don't scratch my back.

Good.

"Munke" is a title.

It was conferred on a brahmin named Raghunath Bhattacharya.

Raja Krishnachandra was impressed by his eating prowess.

And gave him land as reward.

He could eat tons of food.

So, Raghunath Bhattacharya's Jagatdhatri temple.

Where is Goalpara?

That's where you live.

Don't mind.

I'll explain.

Another word for "goala" or milkman is "Ahir".

So, it's Ahiritola.

"In the residence of 'munke bamun' A door hides behind the altar."

Probably there's a tunnel under the altar.

Got it?

I'm sure he didn't get it.

Nitai Basak was just like me.

A legend?

Yeah...

He wrote riddles to confuse everyone.

But why are we in disguise?

Your uncle.

To trick him.

I'm going to teach that man a lesson.

Where is the last tunnel?

Slow down.

We're in costume now.

Be in character.

Okay, okay.

-Hey! -Hmm?

Is there a Jagatdhatri temple nearby?

Raghunath Bhattacharya's Jagatdhatri temple was here.

That was a long time ago.

It has now turned into a swamp.

Where do these ruffians come from?

Whatever!

Humph!

Call the boss.

-Sir. -Hmm.

There are no Jagatdhatri temples in Ahiritola.

Chase them down.

One more thing...

Kidnap the nephew.

Hello.

Do you remember?

Nitai said Birupaksha and the weavers celebrated 13 festivals in 12 months.

We found the gods and goddesses too at the loom.

So the riddle is constructed around the 13 festivals. But...

But how?

You must get into character.

"Hail Goddess Chandi and Ganges A gift from the sea.

Tiger and lion residing together The goddess saves me.

Snake and lotus in hand Start at the end if you understand.

Cross the third eye And the spear is your destination."

We saw 12 owls under "the snake". Which is the 12th festival?

Fifth day of "Maag" month.

-That's the Saraswati festival. -Right.

That indicates the Saraswati temple on Sukhiya street.

Nitai's house.

Next?

Eight owls under "the lotus".

So, that's Kali festival in the month of "Kartik".

The "Koshai Kali" temple in Chhatu Babu Bazaar.

Right.

What does six owls under "third eye" mean?

Manasa festival in "Bhadra" month.

Hmm. So the Shobhabazar Manasa temple.

And finally...

One owl under "the spear". So the last tunnel is...

The "Charak gajan" festival in "Chaitra" month.

Hail lord Shiva! Let's go!

I have a feeling...

The temple is nearby.

-Let's look for the Shiva temple. -Let's go that way.

Hmm.

-Should we go straight? -Nowhere but ahead.

Hey!

Get in the car!

NIMTALA SHIV MANDIR

Looks like this is the final destination.

Let's look around carefully.

Hail lord Shiva!

Is there a tunnel under this temple?

I don't know.

Hello?

Where are you?

We've almost found the fourth tunnel.

Don't tell Potai.

Where did you find it?

The Mota Shiva temple in Nimtala.

I'll talk to you later.

Nimtala.

The Mota Shiva temple.

Not here.

What?

Check here.

Come.

Wow!

-Hail lord Shiva! -Don't scare me.

Watch your step.

It's too dark to keep going.

Wait a minute.

Let me switch on my third eye.

What?

The boundary wall is broken.

The rest of the walls were constructed...

after Birupaksha crossed the tunnel.

He was stuck when the British found out about the tunnel.
