Ashmita explains the diamond artifact is known as the “eye of shiva” in their family chronicles and it is the key to immense treasure hidden somewhere. She asks Jack to help her to find the real treasure and protect it from wrong hands. They further find the diamond artifact is a part of a scepter that opens a map room built using vastu shastra and astronomical positions of that period in a closed part of a sacred temple. Randall kidnaps Jack and Ashmita, demands to find the treasure for him because the treasure belonged to his family.
