THE STORY

The show begins by taking you through a mystical and enchanting introduction of India’s deep-seated cultural and spiritual glory. Soon thereafter, you meet the timeless Vedic Era protagonist, Nachiketa – a fearless and determined 9-year-old boy whose curiosity angers his father Uddalak. As a punishment, Uddalak sends him away to Yamraj – the God of Death. Nachiketa arrives at the abode of Yamraj to learn that the God of Death is away on business. When mighty Yamaraj returns he is alarmed to see the young Nachiketa at his door and attempts to scare him away with earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes, fire and thunderstorms. Nachiketa remains unfazed through it all. Impressed by Nachiketa’s courage, Yamaraj offers him three boons. Selflessly, Nachiketa first asks for the restoration of his father’s peace of mind. He then asks for the knowledge of the yagna, a ceremony through which people attain divine wisdom. Lastly but most importantly, Nachiketa asks Yamraj to reveal the truth about life after death and the path to eternal happiness. As events unfold, we learn - alongside young Nachiketa - the ultimate secret to true “Sat-Chit-Anand”-“Truth-Consciousness-Bliss.”
