The Pilgrim's Progress: On The Road To Kainchi

For decades, people have travelled through the winding roads of the Kumaon hills, drawn by the memory of Neem Karoli Baba and the faith surrounding him. This is an NDTV documentary about that journey from the place where Neem Karoli Baba was born to Kainchi Dham, the spiritual destination that continues to draw pilgrims, seekers and visitors from across India and around the world. Along the way, the documentary looks beyond the legend to discover the man behind the faith, the people who continue to remember him, and the town that has grown around those who come seeking his blessings. From quiet mountain roads to crowded temple days, from personal stories of devotion to the accounts of influential visitors, the film explores how one spiritual figure left a legacy that continues to shape Kainchi. Why do people still make this journey, decades after his passing? What are they searching for? And how did a quiet corner of the Kumaon hills become a place known far beyond India? This is a journey of faith, memory and belief. This is the road to Kainchi.
