Unheard tales from Banaras | Swades | Manikarnika Ghat | Varanasi

Set in the eternal city of Varanasi (Banaras), this film is a meditation on the purpose of life, the exploration to the depths of death, and the possibility of what lies beyond. Through voices from different walks of life — priests, philosophers, locals, and Dom Raja, we journey through the fires of Manikarnika Ghat, where the dead find liberation and the living search for meaning. Rooted in myths, ritual, and raw human experience, 'Masaan' doesn’t offer answers — it invites reflection. On the soul, on the cycle of rebirth, and on the delicate balance between reason and faith. #SwadesByPOI #PeopleOfIndia #Banaras #Manikarnika #Afterlife #IndianSpirituality #DomRaja #Hinduism #DeathAndLife
