About this submission
A portrait film of my mother's love for Shiva, one of the most powerful gods in the Hindu religion.
Although not born into the Hindu religion, my mother, Hansa Mehta, developed an auspicious and deep love for the powerful Hindu god Shiva since the age of 10 after a photo of the deity mysteriously landed at her feet. Now at the age of 71, Hansa is more determined than ever to build a public temple dedicated to Shiva in the United States in spite of the current state of politics surrounding immigration and religion.
Produced & Directed by Radha Mehta
Featuring Hansa Mehta
