However, a tragic incident occurs when Raicharan takes The Little Master to the riverbank. While Raicharan leaves briefly to retrieve a flower, the child goes missing from the cart.
The rest of the story focuses on the desperate search for the missing child. Anukul and the child's mother tirelessly look for The Little Master, hoping to find him safe. The story explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human emotions.
"My Lord The Baby" showcases Tagore's skill in capturing human relationships and the deep emotional connections that can form between individuals, regardless of their social positions.
