“For over five years, my vlogging journey has completely transformed how I look at life. Before content creation, I lived a very different life working as a celebrity manager.
Though I pursued civil engineering academically, my real passion was always photography and filmmaking. Standing backstage managing someone else’s spotlight made me wonder why I should remain behind the scenes when I could share my own perspective with the world. That thought inspired me to pack a bag and document my travels.
What started as standard travel vlogs evolved into a soul-stirring exploration of spirituality, history, and culture. Visiting ancient temples standing for centuries, I realized that many people, especially the elderly, might never get to experience these sacred spaces in person. Through my camera, I wanted to bring those journeys directly to them.
I started with no team, no budget, and no formal training. I taught myself video production, editing, and storytelling, handling everything alone using an Insta360, an iPhone, and a Hollyland microphone. The learning curve was steep, but the community’s response changed everything. A solo passion project grew into a platform of recognized impact, proving authenticity matters more than a massive crew.
Yet, the most rewarding part isn’t the views or numbers. It’s the quiet messages from viewers who feel a profound spiritual connection to these temples through my videos. Their blessings remind me why I started.
The road is rarely easy. From unpredictable weather to grueling treks, every destination demands a price. My path has taken me from the extreme physical trials of the Ahobilam forest trek to a recent high-altitude expedition to the snow-covered peaks of Kedarnath.
Facing harsh elements can be overwhelming, yet these journeys become the most memorable, spiritually enriching experiences of my life. My ultimate dream is to document every remote, historically significant temple across India, preserving their traditions before they are lost to time. With every ancient stone I film, I feel inspired to keep exploring India’s timeless spiritual heritage, one destination at a time.”
