Amarkatha

Directed by Surya Balakrishnan

Amarkatha is an ironic exploration of a sacred Hindu pilgrimage that takes place in Kashmir, where millions of devotees trek through the fragile mountains to pray to an ice stalagmite believed to be a reincarnation of Lord Shiva. Through the lens of folklore, faith, and ecological decline, the story uncovers the complex, tragic intersection of religion, politics, and the changing world around them.
