underneath the BANYAN TREE

By Sucheta Regikumar Nair

Do you truly believe in God? Ira, a young South Indian girl has always had a detached relationship with God. She works at a small flower stall with her grandparents, selling garlands made of jasmine. Her peaceful and routine life, however, is disrupted when she discovers that the elderly couple have been concealing a huge secret from her. This leaves her to embark on a life-transforming journey to discover the truth of her identity and beliefs, with only the teachings of a young Swami to guide her. The truth may lie in the most unexpected places. Even a temple. Underneath the Banyan Tree is a raw and intimate reflection on one woman's spiritual journey -- a path paved with doubt, devotion, frustration, and fragile hope. Woven through personal moments and poetic stillness, this story captures the complex relationship between a seeker and the divine.
