India - Love And Devotion

In a land as colorful and rich with diversity as India, it is hard to believe that there is something which unites the country's one billion people. Yet INDIA: LOVE AND DEVOTION shows that despite their religious and cultural differences, most Indians share a common sense of spirituality and devotion. From the Ganges River to the Taj Mahal, INDIA: LOVE AND DEVOTION takes viewers on a vibrant one-hour journey through the crowded streets, bustling markets, and peaceful deserts of India. INDIA: LOVE AND DEVOTION looks at the six main religions in India: Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Jainism, Sikhism and Christianity, while exploring the breath-taking architecture and landscape of India's holy sites. In a fascinating journey to mystical pilgrimage sites, we visit the sacred city of Varanasi on the Ganges River, revered by Hindus who believe in the water's healing properties. Other landmarks with strong religious significance include the beautiful city of Azmir, a holy place for Muslims; Delhi with it's majestic monument to Sikhism; the cosmic city of Jaipur with its enchanting Lake Palace; the erotic Hindu temples of Khajuraho; and ﾓthe ultimate expression of love,ﾔ the Taj Mahal, built by Muslim Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife. This timeless documentary also looks at religious beliefs which manifest themselves in daily Indian life, including the ideals of oneness with nature, respect for all living beings, non-violence and a tolerance for diversity. The film captures Indian families during harvest time, camel farmers in Pushkar, and Indian dancers in Rajasthan. By examining both the spiritual and practical aspects of life, INDIA: LOVE AND DEVOTION gives viewers an understanding of the way devotion regulates daily practices.
