The Blind Men and the Elephant

Haiga says

Let's settle in and begin.

A group of blind men learns about an elephant by touching different parts of it. Each man feels something different and believes his view is the only truth. They argue until they realize they all have only part of the story.

Originally a Sanskrit tale — the Sanskrit edition is on its way. Meanwhile you can enjoy it in English & Telugu.
