Synopsis

The Battle of Kamrup tells the stirring, often overlooked story of a heroic stand in the eastern frontiers of Bharat—a defiant moment when imperial ambition was halted not by vast armies but by strategy, spirit, and unwavering resolve. In 1206 CE, the seemingly unstoppable Turkic general Bakhtiyar Khilji—infamous for the destruction of Nalanda—turned his imperial gaze toward the ancient kingdom of Kamrup. Expecting a swift conquest, he instead encountered the strategic genius of Raja Prithu. Through expert interviews, dramatic reenactments, and the traditional shadow puppetry of the Vaishnavite culture, this documentary reclaims a forgotten victory. It is a cinematic tribute to a king and a civilization whose spiritual resolve proved mightier than imperial steel
