Scrolls of Āryavarta
An exploration of the Bhārata that once was and could have been, via AI art and historical fiction.
there is a place...
it exists outside of space-time as we know it, but many of us have been there...It lies in that cultural mid-space so distant yet ever palpable.
Hive mind. Race memory. Blood bond. We may call it many things, but we know it best when we see it, and it feels warm and familiar...as if a memory we once lived.
perhaps we did, did we not ?
We can access this place, outside of space and time though it lies. In images and words, in sounds and vistas,
in streams of imagi/memory that can flow through us...

Scrolls of Āryavarta is a project to celebrate, express and engage in our shared lore - the dhārmika lore .
It is a calling to all who dream of the Bhārata that once was, or Bhāratas that could have been. We engage here in creative storytelling and lore creation, employing image generators to create for us visions of a place we all know.
