Film Synopsis

Still from ‘Tryambak: The Three Eyed’ One’

The film is shot at Tryambakeshwar  near Nashik in Maharashtra which is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas  or the most auspicious places of worship of lord Shiva. It is also the source of the Godavari river where the Kumbha mela is held once in twelve years. The film captures some of the frenetic preparation for this grand event in order to gently reveal the human folly and the sincere striving to know the Ultimate reality!
