In
this film, Mahant Veer Bhadra Mishra, the spiritual leader of the famous
temple of Sankat Mochan Hanuman in the Holy City of Banaras, explains
the symbolism of the performance of Yagya (the Vedic fire sacrifice).
He illuminates the threads of Indian tradition which bind together the
rituals of the Veda and the performances of Bhakti: the Katha story-telling,
the chanting of texts, Bhajan and Kirtan, and the Lila dramas of the
Avatar Ram and Krishna. The
film also documents the performance of Sat Chandi Maha Yagya held at
the Sankat Mochan Temple of Banaras in July-August 1999.
