Maitra lived in a tiny village nestled in the mountains.
Her husband and two grown sons worked in a different country. Though they would come home when they could, Maitra was left alone, caring for her sick and ageing mother-in-law, Rajul.
Looking for healing
With no peace or joy in her life, Maitra spent much of her time trying to find methods of healing for Rajul. She invited religious healers to her home to perform rituals and she visited many temples, offering goats and chickens to her gods and goddesses.
