Pratima Doobay is a priestess based in the west-Indian community in New York. She is the most recent in a familial lineage of priests; having grown up seeing her father conduct sacred Hindu ceremonies and guide the community out of their Brooklyn home. Through the lens of a first generation, spiritual, queer woman, we are shown both the joy and loneliness that Pratima faces everyday as a practitioner and leader of this divine faith. From her father’s initial rejection of her calling, to the effects of her darker complexion within a culture that is constantly dealing with its own casteism/colorism, we watch as Pratima prepares for an event at the Sri Trimurti Bhavan Temple in Ozone Park, NY.
