Muktidham, an Indian Ensemble production, is written and directed by theatre practitioner Abhishek Majumdar. The play is based on the conflict between Buddhism and Hinduism in the eighth century, a time when Buddhism was at its peak and the Buddhist Pala kings were ruling what are now, east and large parts of north India. Set in a Matha in a fictional Hindu temple town called Beerpur surrounded by Buddhists, its head 'Nath Nand' is about to retire to 'Muktidham'—to die and achieve salvation.
