For centuries, in the inner worlds of Haridwar, there has existed a recordkeeping tradition unlike any other - thumbprints, signatures and handwritten scrolls that allow families to map their ancestral origins. With the Ganga and the rituals along her banks as the main touchpoint, these Bahis trace out births, deaths, and lineages with great efficacy.
Maintained exclusively by a generation of pandits known as Teerth Purohits, these records help individuals perform rituals in memory of their ancestors, while continuing to map their family tree for posterity.
Today, these handwritten imprints of time are at risk of withering away. The younger generations of Teerth Purohits reckon with their place in the world, in the cycle of time, and in the shadow of their Ma Ganga as they continue this ancient tradition, defying the promise – and the warning – of a digital future.
