Episode 05
A planned episode on boatmen, bathers, and the layered rites that unfold between Dashashwamedh and Manikarnika each dawn.
This episode is in production for the docuseries — read the preview notes below.
Before the crowds gather for evening aarti, the Ganga between Dashashwamedh and Manikarnika belongs to boatmen, bathers, and the quiet choreography of morning prayer.
This planned companion to Flames at Manikarnika will document sunrise on the water — the same stretch our Schedule 5 crew will cover when filming begins.
