The captivating Indian web series Bandish Bandits is back on Prime Video with season 2 and it is all the rage. While the plot revolves around singers of two different genres its portrayal of Rajasthan is a reason enough to watch the two-part series.
The story follows the journey of Radhe, a disciplined classical singer from Jodhpur, and Tamanna, a spirited pop star, as they navigate their personal ambitions and cultural difference.
Rajasthan serves as a living, breathing character in Bandish Bandits, with its vibrant culture, heritage, and landscapes integral to the story. The two main cities shown are Bikaner and Jodhpur. Here's a look at all the places featured in the show.
The grand Mehrangarh Fort looms large in many scenes, symbolizing legacy and tradition, particularly reflecting Radhe's deep connection to classical music.
The earthy tones of Rajasthan’s deserts and the vibrant blues of Jodhpur's homes create a stunning visual contrast that reflects the characters' evolving journeys.
The bustling Sardar Market in Jodhpur and local street life add an everyday charm to the narrative, grounding it in realism.
The ornate havelis and palaces, including the 106-year-old Laxmi Niwas Palace in Bikaner, emphasise the royal and cultural richness of Rajasthan.
The deserts of Bikaner, used in several sequences, underscore moments of solitude and reflection.
