On the blood-soaked coast of 16ᵗʰ-century Rameshwaram, faith is forbidden. Temples are razed, idols shattered, and prayer is answered with chains—or death.
When a quiet boatmaker, Rajan, hides broken gods aboard his boat, escape becomes impossible. Hunted by cannons, fishermen flee toward a cursed island no one returns from.
The sea darkens. Waves turn violent. Silence follows. Something ancient stirs beneath the water—older than empires, awakened by devotion.
A gripping tale of resistance and belief, this epic asks: when humans carry their gods into the sea, what rises to carry them back?
