Purva Uttara, Past Forward- DVD II
* Mamallapuram: A Riddle in the Sands
* Vijayangara: Where Kings and Gods Meet
* Sanchi: Monument of the People
* Konark: Chariot of The Sun
In this series, eight of India's most spectacular sites- Sanchi, Konark, Mamallapuram, Vijayanagara, Delhi, the Taj Mahal, Mewar, and Goa- are examined in a thought- provoking manner in the context of the history of the time and the socio economic milieu. The approach may best be summed up as "Art and the History of Ideas."
Art historians, drawing upon their own scholarship and specialized knowledge of the sites, project an imaginative approach to the material which has been followed closely by the scriptwriter and directors, guiding the viewer'ssteps with freedom.
It is hoped that glimpses of the India that was will provide insights into the India that is and will be.
Each film is 23 min duration in English, and directed at the non-specialist viewer. The films have been shot on 35mm Eastmancolor negative and finished on video tape.
