Roots&Wings

In a country as devoted to religion as India is, nature has, in many ways, been deified. Yet, this worship of nature has seldom translated into caring for the environment. The river washes our souls but how about cleaning the river itself?

Film Synopsis

Still from ‘Patram Pushpam Toyam’

And if she is a living goddess then how can one worship a defaced deity and what do we worship with if there are no Leaves, Flowers and Water left? The film urges us to think about the meaning behind the rituals and attempts to throw light on the traditional Indian perspective on man’s relationship with nature.
