About this episode

A ghost story set in Old Delhi about a mysterious mirror that reveals the past.

In the oldest lanes of Chandni Chowk, a crumbling haveli hides a room that has been locked for over 150 years. Inside it: a veiled Belgian mirror that, old Kaki says, doesn't show your reflection. It shows what was lost. When antique restorer Ananya Sen arrives and convinces the owner to open the room, she brushes off the warnings as superstition. But when she finally lifts the veil — she sees a sixteen-year-old girl, frozen in the last peaceful hour before the 1857 uprising, waiting for company.
