July 2 - Indian Highlights

recap:
Black magic stuff is found at the house of a man and markings on the door.
The bad pandit says he is leaving and the villagers will come and beg him to come back.
A girl is bitten by a snake and the bad pandit saves her.
The bad pandit says he will have a yagna and Panditji will not be allowed to attend.

The villagers are concerned that Panditji cannot come and they say that nothing has been done without him.
But, the bad pandit says that Panditji doesn't believe in the witch and cannot give hims energy to the Yagna.
But, Panditji can stand far from the Yagna and watch what is going on.
He mocks Panditji.

Gulu is walking and goes to the lair of the witch.
He goes and sees all the things in the lair - Gulu has a bag, and the witch pushes him and then takes it from him.
It's food in the container, and she eats it like she has never gotten the food.
He says to the witch - why was it necessary for her to go out and let someone see her - now the villagers know about her!
Gulu says that he doesn't know how long he can take care of her - she will have to leave, and quickly.
She screams at him and acts like a mad person.

At the house, Vaishnavi is taking food out for her father.
Panditji is remembering what the bad pandit said to him, and how the villagers gor on his side.
He eats when Vaishnavi gives him good, and Vaishnavi asks if he is thinking about the bad pandit (Jata Shankar - JS)
Panditji says he has not concern if he does a Yagna - Manav comes and says the Yagna is starting and he has called everyone.
Vaishnavi says they will come in a bit. She can see her father is upset.

Manav is looking for Gulu and finds him - Gulu says he slept in. Manav says they should go as the Yagna is starting.

JS is starting the Yagna and getting things ready.
Vaishnavi and Panditji go there and see them starting.
They say that they should take the samagri for the Yagna to MR - he looks to Panditji and finds something is wrong.
He gets up and goes to Panditji. He gives Panditji Pranam and taunts him that yesterday everyone was with him, and today, they are with him.
JS says that they can see his strength - Panditji says that is he showing his strength or playing games.
They taunt each other a little more.
They hear the tali with the Samagri fall, and a coconut rolls to Panditji's feet.
JS wonders what wrong is happening and then wonders how his samagri fell.
They look to MR's murti and see that blood is falling from her eyes.
They are all surprised and scared.
JS says that the witch has even come to the mandir - Panditji says that why are they again talking about the witch, and this could be another reason for this happening.
JS says what other evidence does Panditji need - Panditji says whose shadow could do something like this to MR's murti?
JS says he came here to help the village and so now he is saying that either the villagers are with him today, or with Panditji.
Panditji is schocked and asks what kind of talk is he making?
The villagers say that they do not want to happen to their family - and therefore, although they respect Panditji, they have to be with JS.
JS is happy that no one is with Panditji and taunts him in front of the Villagers.
JS leaves with the villagers and leaves Panditji with Vaishnavi, Manav and Gulu.
Vaishnavi goes to confort her father and stands with him. He walks away in anguish!
Vaishnavi looks at MR for comfort and is upset - she leaves the mandir.

Precap: JS is doing puja, and when he tries to put samagri into the kund, his hand is stoped and he starts to strangle himself.
