Imagine blazing a trail on the path to restoring ravaged shrines by finding and putting together lost relics that they once housed! This is the mission entrusted to Kari—the protagonist of the game Kari and the Lost Shrines. The game is the latest offering from Sadhguru’s Isha Foundation.

Named after the 47th Nayanar saint, Kari is the embodiment of a warrior-protector. He sprints through serpentine greenwalks across deep unfamiliar forests and cascades though verdant veils to uncover long lost relics from ancient shrines. Relic-by-recovered-relic, he puts the shrines back together in a marvellous feat of restoration. The player of the game gets to be Kari in flesh and bones!

What is not lost on the player is that the eagerness of the original Kari is personified in the character. The saint was a famed poet who donated all his earnings itothe service of Shiva and his devotees. He built temples which were spiritual and architectural marvels.
