Located fairly in the center of the Temple, the room was similar to some of the other rooms that occupied this area in the fact that players had to navigate through a certain [amount of] obstacle(s) and then hit an actuator to move on. In this case, players had to pass through long rods of bamboo shoots before advancing in any direction. It was probably quite hard to get through, but probably allowed the easiest access to the room above it out of all of the rooms occupying this room area, apart from the Jester's Court. Although the room only appeared in five episodes, the players had to pass through the room a total of three times, and a fourth time with the room being a dead end. The only artifact that was featured in this room was the Stolen Arm of Shiva, which was placed in the Bamboo Forest itself. Nevertheless, the room was not entered and the artifact was not retrieved. Trivia This room has the second-least appearances in the Temple, appearing in only five episodes. The rooms that hold the record are the Room of Fallen Columns and the Treasury of Golden Orbs. The only time a Temple Guard is encountered in this room was in The Stone Marker of Leif Erikson. The room also turned out to be a dead end in that particular Temple Run.
