The ancient hymn - Shiva Manasa Puja, attributed to Rishi Veda Vyasa gets a contemporary electronica touch and takes us through the mystical city of Varanasi. The video tells us the lives of two individuals in the city - One a youngster who is hustling to pursue his dreams, and the other - who has achieved his dreams and has returned to Varanasi and embraces the ordinary life, as his way of staying connected with his Shiva.

Special Thanks to :

Mr. Sunil Kudva for introducing us to Mr. Harnarain Sarda Ji, who connected us to the Varanasi cultural world,.

Pt Devashish Dey, for the courtesy of allowing us to perform at his Shilpayan Institution, and the students and teachers and gurus there.

Ratnesh Verma ji and Pritesh Aacharya ji for facilitating our performance at Subeh Banaras

Dr. Pooja Pande, for taking the time out to help us in navigating Varanasi and finding the right locations to shoot.
