I will press the marks

of my teeth and nails

into your breasts

And I will say

I found you this way

And that another man had don e it.

And what will you say then?

I will say I am innocent.

Who will believe you?

Maya.

Maya?

You just called me maya.

Are you trying to read my mind?

No.

Did they not prepare you?!

Didn't they tell you never

to question your husband?!

No!

Get me the chief courtesan!

My name is Jai.

Jai kumar.

I am the royal sculptor,

And I saw you

at the king's wedding.

You don't know this,

but you in spire my work.

I work in stone,

like these temples.

It's hard to believe

she's made of stone.

Why?

Stone has life.

Padmini.

It's not right.

Don't move.

Maya!

Maya!

I' m sorry.

Let me explain.

I work with my hands.

I didn't want to frighten you

or embarrass you.

Why do you feel so free

to touch me?

And don't talk to me as

if I was your servant.

I' m not your servant.

A servant is a master in disguise.

Where do you live?

Come, I'll walk you home.

You do have a home to go to?

Listen, I know somewhere.

If you agree, I can take you there.

She is wonderful.

She teaches the kamasutra.

Everything I' m trying

to understand

about love in my work, she knows.

Let me take you to her.

When you dance

the dance of enticement

for a man,

you dance like he's the only one

Left in the world

come on. Come on, try.

Play.

Rasa.

Jai kumar.

And to what do we owe this honor?

This is maya...

a new friend.

She needs a place to stay.

Come, maya.

Join us.

Play.

So tara was being weighed in gold,

And she insulted me

before the kind, so I...

you what?

I went to the king's chamber,

And I gave myself to him

the night of his wedding.

Ohh. Was he as good as his father?

Oh, rasa devi,

the fuss, the shame.

Shame?

Now, that is an ancient word.

When the king I served

as chief courtesan

went to war,

the Queen, being the dutiful wife

she was,

washed his feet with holy water.

She drank the same water

every day he was gone.

When he came back...

he rode straight to my door.

Do you think

that honored the Queen?

Honor and shame

maybe two sides of the same coin.

It's so beautiful here.

You are welcome to live

with us here, maya.

I prepare women.

Some become courtesans

in the king's harem.

I teach my girls the kamasutra- -

that the art of love

is much more than the act itself.

Come.

Rest.

You have it in you

to be a great courtesan, maya.

Reserved maybe

for raj singh himself.

The king?

And why not?

No, rasa devi, never.

Hush.

We shall not speak of it again.

You stay here as a daughter.

And if you change your mind...

you come tell me.

I used to worship inside temples...

until I saw that everything
