Ekaant - Season 1 - Eps 17: Martand
Standing majestically on a plateau above the flood plains of Kashmir are the stupendous ruins of the Sun Temple of Martand. Described as “a dream in stone designed by Titans and finished by jewellers”, the temple of Martand is part of the legacy of the indomitable Lalitaditya Mukhtapid of the Karkota dynasty of Kashmir which was once the centre of a mighty empire governed from the capital city of Parihaspora. Once the city of smiles, it is today a site of ruined stones. We see the glory of Kashmir through the life of one of it’s favourite sons.

Synopsis
India is known for its remarkable architecture and serene landscapes. Its rich history is steeped in mystery; its vastness - lends itself to several stories and urban legends. Ekaant takes you through the abandoned roads and alleys of some of India’s historic locations. Travelling through the spread out palaces and deserted forts, the show documents and investigates the eerie processes of abandonment of each site. How flourishing towns and cities came to be in ruins, is the question each episode seeks to answer. Ekaant explores the ceasing of life and the triumph of nature even in the most populated of places and takes you on the road no longer travelled.
