Guler, a small principality near Kangra, was an artistic and cultural wellspring since its founding in the 15th century. Many master painters, including Pandit Seu, his sons Manaku, Nainsukh, and the poet Brajraj were born here. Today the whole system of patronage under which lofty endeavors were possible—even in financially austere conditions—is mostly forgotten. Tragically, the physical landscape is also submerged under a dam. The film seeks out some traces of the submerged past, through the memories of those left behind, especially from the erstwhile royal palace.
