Summary
The play is set by Hinduism's holiest river, the Ganga, or Ganges, whose waters are believed to be self-cleansing and purifying and which belief has scientific basis. But what are the implications of science and religion sharing the same space on the banks of a holy river? When Uma, a young scientist from Bangalore arrives in Allahabad to investigate the possibility that bacteriophages in the Ganga could be the starting point of a new era of disease eradication, she sets off a ripple effect that will impact the lives of several people. In India, everything is interconnected and nothing is as simple as it seems.
