Exiled From Ayodhya

Much water has been muddied where Ayodhya is concerned”

In the past three decades, Ayodhya has been the epicentre of heated political and cultural debate, culminating into probably the most important court verdict in the history of modern India.

A travelling journalist dips into his memories to take us through a journey of Ayodhya to trace the path of Ram’s exile, to match it to existing geography. Along the way, we meet people and places, all trying to make their own meaning of what the Ramayana and its titular hero mean to them.
