One of our self-funded films is ‘Narmada, the eternal river’. Originating at Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh, the River Narmada flows for about 1300 kilometers from east to west through the gorge between the Vindhya and the Satpura mountain ranges and merges into the sea near Khambat Sagar at Gadurreswar in Gujarat.

This valley was formed by the struggle of active land parts of the Precambrian era, along with the remains of primitive sea creatures and dinosaurs. For this reason, the Narmada has been considered the oldest river in India. Along with the evidence of the presence of early Stone Age humans in the caves of the valley, the continuous presence of numerous ancient Sanatana sites situated on the banks of the river narrates the story of the continuous cooperation of this river in the development of India.

In this short documentary, made under the guidance of Shri Samanand Ji from the Saptmatrika temple of Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, we have tried to showcase the enigmatic story of this eternal river from the geological, anthropological, and cultural points of view.

More importantly, the video is an informative and spiritual look at the Narmada River, one of the most sacred rivers in India. The video begins with a montage of images of the river, from its source in the Vindhya Mountains to its confluence with the Arabian Sea. The voiceover then introduces the river's history and significance and discusses its importance to the cultures of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

The video then goes on to explore the river's natural beauty, from its lush forests to its pristine waterfalls. A few original audio tracks and numbers make this video more attractive. The video also features interviews with people who live along the river and share their stories and insights about the river's importance to their lives. Insights shared by some spiritually accomplished personalities enhanced the knowledge value of the video.

The video also unfolds the importance of Narmada Parikrama, which is a spiritual journey that involves the circumambulation of the Narmada River, a 3000-kilometre route, on foot, leaving behind all belongings and economic means! The journey is said to be a way to cleanse oneself of sin and attain moksha, or liberation.

The short documentary had been selected for official screening at the Mahakaushal Short & Documentary Film Festival and later was awarded the best documentary award upon its showcasing at the Shaheed Smarak Auditorium, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, on 18th December, 2022!

  • Namaste! I had the blessing to visit the Narmada in 2010 while traveling through India with a group. We went to the river during sunrise, and I will never forget the peacefulness I felt. It is a beautiful place, full of peace and harmony. I didn't understand the documentary, because I don't speak Hindi, but I enjoyed it anyways.
