Synopsis : For centuries, in the inner worlds of Haridwar, thumbprints, signatures and handwritten notes have allowed families to map their ancestral origins. Known as Bahis, these records are maintained exclusively by a generation of pandits known as Teerth Purohits. In a tiny room on the banks of the Ganga, wave upon wave of humanity is captured in tightly wound scrolls.
