Overview

India is known for its remarkable architecture and serene landscapes. Its rich history is steeped in mystery; its vastness - lends itself to several stories and urban legends. Ekaant takes you through the abandoned roads and alleys of some of India’s historic locations. Travelling through the spread out palaces and deserted forts, the show documents and investigates the eerie processes of abandonment of each site. How flourishing towns and cities came to be in ruins, is the question each episode seeks to answer. Ekaant explores the ceasing of life and the triumph of nature even in the most populated of places and takes you on the road no longer travelled.

Overview

A forgotten capital of a forgotten kingdom. Its name today means ruined city, but at the height of the Hoysala rule in the 12th century, Halebidu enjoyed an important status and was called ‘Dwarsamudra’. Halebidu is home to some of the most iconic structures of Hoysala architecture, yet remains relatively unknown in modern-day India. Figures, as with the nearby city of Mysore and the rock-cut temples, Halebidu now lies silent. The Hoysala empire lies forgotten.
