The Cobalt Stones of Gwalior Fort
A Gwalior Mystery

The Pitch: Indiana Jones meets Mission: Impossible against the backdrop of India’s most formidable fortress.

The Hook

The sandstone walls of Gwalior Fort have stood for centuries, surviving sieges, kings, and the relentless march of time. They call it the "Pearl in the necklace of castles of Hind," but a new grit is grinding against its polish. While the world sees a monument of turquoise tiles and silent history, a modern-day syndicate sees a goldmine of forgotten power.

The Heroes

Manoj: A history buff with a Sherlockian eye for detail. He doesn’t just see ruins; he reads the stories the stones are trying to tell.

Aditi: A fearless explorer who prefers action to archives. If there’s a ledge to climb or a shadow to chase, she’s already halfway there.

The Story

What started as a weekend trek for two friends turns into a desperate race through the Man Singh Palace. Deep within the labyrinthine tunnels and beneath the iconic blue-tiled facades, Manoj and Aditi stumble upon a cryptic trail that wasn't left by ancient royalty—it was left by a high-tech syndicate.

These aren't looters looking for gold; they are shadows looking for a secret that could rewrite history. To stop them, Manoj and Aditi must:

Solve the Turquoise Cipher: Decode symbols hidden in plain sight within the fort’s famous tile work.

Navigate the Deep Dark: Outmaneuver a ruthless organization in the suffocating, pitch-black subterranean passages.

Fight with Finesse: Stop the villains without damaging a single inch of the sacred heritage they’ve sworn to protect.

Visual Style

Expect high-contrast noir aesthetics blended with the vibrant, royal blues and teals of Gwalior’s architecture. The panels shift from the sweeping, sun-drenched views of the hilltop to the claustrophobic, torch-lit tension of the hidden vaults.

"The past isn't buried here. It's waiting. And today, it's dangerous."
