Two monks and two children are the only survivors after a sandstorm in Sariput. When the two children, Iti and Nirvana, grow up, they fall in love with each other.

Acclaimed screenwriter of Hindi classics, Nabendu Ghosh, made his assured directorial debut with this philosophical drama. Set in 200 BC in a Buddhist town in the deserts of Central Asia, Trishagni is a profound exploration of a monk’s moral dilemma between physical temptations and his dharma.
