Mountaineer Devyani Semwal is on a mission to scale the world’s highest peaks. Raised in Mukhba, a quaint Himalayan village at the foothills of the Gangotri, her ambitions rival the formidable mountains that surround her. Having scaled Mt. Kilimanjaro, she now has her sights set on Mt. Everest and the famed seven summits - each marking a continent. But before she can fully embrace the great unknowns of her calling, she must look within. She must find her inner power, her flow. This spiritual quest leads her to another daughter of Mukhba - the river Goddess Ganga, whose own Himalayan journey forms an essential part of Devyani’s calling, her life, and longings.
Bowing to the trickling headstream at Gaumukh, the glacial womb from which the Ganga emerges as Bhagirathi, Devyani makes her way to Tapovan, a verdant meadow known as the forest of austerities. Here, she must begin her penance - the difficult, coveted ascent of Mt. Shivling. At the summit, where the snowy crown pierces the sky, Devyani stands tall, one with the billowing clouds. Having been embraced by the primordial elements, she is now ready to take on the great peaks of the world.

Saw this epic story on my laptop, two days ago. Then again, and yet again, with loved ones. It’s spectacular in every way. Breathtaking camerawork, can only try to imagine how it was to get up there, be there, wait for the light (Mt. Shivling!), wait for Devyani to climb the craggy heights, get shot after amazing shot…edit, record, design the music to flow from Hindustani to Carnatic. Outstanding, Bala. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for you love and support, can't wait to share many more amazing stories.
Honoured to be a part of this wonderful project and share my music with you all! :)
Beautiful & divine voice, soul stirring singing. I am falling short of words. Where can I hear more of you ❤️❤️

The STORY OF TWO GANGAS , use of metaphor at its best , one the creator of the world and the other creator of us humans . The videography cinematography of this kind takes us to trance. The music throughout the video was pure bliss. I heartfully thank each and every single person entity who have created such a marvel. I have a lot and lot and lot to say about this 8 minute experience. It would take 8 paragraphs to speak about what I have experienced in just 8 minutes. But I stop here.

Seeing this inaugural film of the seven such films to be unveiled, I immediately felt fascinated and speechless by the mesmerising beauty of the landscapes and the mastery of Mr. Bharatbala that captured it. The soul stirring rendition by Pavithra Chari complimented it so beautifully that left us with a feeling of getting immersed in a world of divinity.

Thank you for such an inspired and inspiring film devoted to Ganga both without and within. She is all pervading and infinite and at the same time temporal and visceral. Over the years I have felt more and more moved to work to protect the spiritual heritage of the Ganga and Himalaya. Yes, She is beyond all things; and at the same time She is our Mother here on Earth and I see it as a duty to work to protect Her: from misuse (the rafting that is ever present now in and around Rishikesh); from pollution (all along her banks from mountain to sea); from our own forgetfulness (do we remember Her when we open our eyes each morning?, do we think of Her when we prepare for bed each night?)... As we protect Ganga Ma, She protects us and helps us find our Dharmic path. I write this as much as a reminder to myself as for anyone who is longing to know Ganga Ma more deeply-- as Devyani Semwal longs in this beautiful tribute to Mother and Daughter in One.
Thnkw so much🙏❤️
Thank you for your thoughtful and inspiring words. We deeply appreciate your dedication to protecting the spiritual heritage of Ganga and the Himalayas. Your commitment to preserving and cherishing Ganga Ma is truly commendable. we're grateful for your support and your shared longing to know Ganga Ma more deeply. 🙏

Thank you so much for your kind words! Your support and love means a lot to us and the team here at Virtual Bharat. 🙏🌟😊
Drawing parallels between two Ganga is a beautiful story concept with incredible views of Gauomukh, Shivling Tapovan. And the music is Divine with soulful singing. Congratulations for creating such documenteris.
Shivling is my favourite mountain too. 2 decades back had treked in that area. So relived those moments through your visuals.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Virtual Bharat is grateful for your appreciation of the concept and the breathtaking views of Gauomukh, Shivling, and Tapovan. We're thrilled that you found the music and singing to be divine.

Your kind words warm our hearts. Thank you for your support 😊
Mesmerizing and goosebumps !💚
Thank you so much for your support

I am in Usa but when I saw this film I was crying and feeling to go back to my country It’s amazing 👍🏼
Thank you! We're touched that our film evoked such strong emotions in you, even from across the miles. Your connection to your homeland is truly special, and we're grateful for your kind words and support. 👍🏼🙏🇮🇳
maa wahi rehe!
Behtareen
My reverence to the makers who made Ma Ganga alive within my heart through this short film. Expecting a full movie on Ma. Also, the background score gave me goosebumps so many times and the heartwarming videograpgy took me to the source.
We're grateful that our short film resonated with you and brought Ma Ganga alive in your heart and we look forward to sharing many more such masterpieces with you in the future! 🙏
The cinematography is simply stunning. Amazing work!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Your support and love means a lot to us and the team here at Virtual Bharat. 🙏🌟😊
This is easily your best. For people like us, with great desires and many limitations, you've served everything on a single platter. That too as a one-pot meal, with every individual flavour distinct and homogenous. To me, your creativity and visualization are as deep as the Ganga and as open as the sky. May you produce many many more such masterpieces and bring home the wonder of Bharat to us!
Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! Your appreciation means a lot to us. We're glad to hear that you found this work to be one of our finest, and we're committed to continuing our efforts to bring the wonders of Bharat to you. Your support and encouragement are deeply valued, and we look forward to sharing many more such masterpieces with you in the future! 😊
