Kashi Labh (2019)

This ethnographic film explores the way in which Hindu pilgrims and their families stage a distinctive politics-of-care, while they anticipate and create the possibility of Moksha for their dying relative in Varanasi, India's holy city. The research examines audiovisual ethnography as it facilitates a performative space that allowed Nayyar and his interlocutor Shiv to navigate the holy city and improvise different possibilities for his mother's Moksha during his ten-day stay in Varanasi.
