CRIMSON BASALT ECHOES
Ancient Secrets. Modern Greed. One Final Stand.

Deep within the heart of Karnataka, the red sandstone cliffs of Badami hold more than just the shadows of the Chalukyan Empire—they guard a secret that has remained untouched for over a millennium.

The Story

Manoj, a history buff with a mind for puzzles, and Aditi, a restless explorer who thrives on adrenaline, came to the Agastya Lake for a simple trek. But when a hidden inscription reveals a cryptic riddle leading to a lost relic, their weekend getaway turns into a frantic race for survival.

They aren't alone in these ruins. A syndicate of ruthless treasure hunters is hot on their trail, seeing the heritage not as a legacy to be honored, but as a payday to be plundered.

The Stakes

From the heights of the northern cliffs to the narrow, claustrophobic crevices of the cave temples, Manoj and Aditi must play a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. They have one rule: Protect the past at all costs. But how do you save history when the present is trying to bury you alive?

"History isn't just stone and dust; it's the heartbeat of who we are. And some things are worth more than gold."
