Synopsis
In the city of Kanpur lies a suburb named Jajmau that lends fame to the city with its leather industry. Wrapped in the smell of a mixture of hazardous chemicals like chromium and arsenic- we find an ancient mound that has witnessed the wheels of time affect Jajmau in all its glory and downfall. There seems to be an ancient structure (some call it a fort) buried inside this huge mound in Jajmau. However, the history of the mound seems to be lost. But a folk-tale is borne by the people of Jajmau as this surreality of a fort buried inside a mound becomes part of their everyday life. With the constant threat of demolition haunting their everyday life, the qaramat of the famed local saint Hazrat Maqdoom Shah Ala offers solace in the face of adversity.
