The Karma Map

A transformative journey unfolds in The Karma Map, where two young adults explore their identities and feelings during a temple road trip through India.

In The Karma Map, a youth group's temple road trip through India serves as a transformative journey for Tara Bajaj and Silas D’Souza-Gupta. Tara, a former mean girl, has been living a life built on a carefully curated image, complete with social media popularity and a prestigious dance team position. However, when her facade crumbles, she finds herself isolated and uncertain about her future. Accepting a guide position for the temple tour, Tara sees this trip as an opportunity to reconnect with her roots and start anew.

Silas, on the other hand, is an aspiring photojournalist who is eager to trace the path of his two mothers' love story. His expectations for this road trip are minimal, but he soon finds himself drawn to Tara, who carries her own complex history. As they travel through the stunning landscapes of North India, from Punjab to the Himalayas, both Tara and Silas confront their identities as children of the Indian diaspora.

Throughout their journey, they explore themes of karma, self-discovery, and the healing power of love. The Karma Map is not only a story of personal growth but also an exploration of cultural heritage and the bonds that form when two individuals share their vulnerabilities and dreams.
