Well of Echoes

71 min

Best for: falling asleep to a story

A traveller follows a stray goat through a banyan's roots and finds a hidden stepwell, cool with damp stone, carvings and drifting echoes. As she sketches its tiers, a chai wallah tells her of queens singing from the dry depths on full-moon nights. A retired professor offers another mystery: history, monsoon marks and memory held in stone.
