Stories Stitched in Silence & Soil
Stories Stitched in Silence & Soil
Dust rises behind a cartwheel. Needles dart through fabric like birds in flight. A voice hums an old song beneath a fading sky.
The scent of soil lingers, rich, worn, alive - carrying the weight of memory, and the quiet stories rooted deep beneath our feet.
This is where our stories begin — not on stages, but in fields, workshops, alleyways, and open kitchens.
At The Ruta Films, we travel to the heartlands — to the places where culture is lived, not performed,
to document the people, crafts, and quiet moments that carry the soul of a place.
We believe storytelling is a form of preservation — a way to honor the everyday through the art of film. With cinematic care and deep cultural respect, we build a visual archive of lives that speak in gestures, textures, and tradition. Our films aim not just to capture, but to connect — to spark curiosity, invite reflection, and keep the pulse of these stories alive for generations to come.

A curious wanderer at heart and a visual nerd by choice, that’s me. I’m the kind of Jugadu Visual Detective who feels more at home on a dusty village road than in a studio, always chasing stories with a camera slung over one shoulder and a hundred questions in my head.
I work closely with Jaipur Rugs, collaborating on campaign ideation and crafting films that capture the soul of their artisans and the stories woven into every thread. My work is driven by a deep respect for tradition and a cinematic eye for the everyday, creating visuals that are as honest as they are beautiful.






A project very to my heart. I took three artisans from Jaipur Rugs to Mumbai and documented what it felt like for them to see the sea for the very first time, that quite pause, the wonder, the kind of joy you don't need words for.
Unni is the story of the Gaderias and their age-old practice of sheep rearing — a life shaped by movement, land, and seasons. It reflects a tradition passed through generations, where tending flocks is not just work, but a way of living in quiet harmony with nature.
