Temple of the Gods

A British archaeologist hides inside an Indian temple after hours. He discovers a hidden passage that pulls him into the year 1010, into the heart of the Chola empire while the temple is still being built. What follows is a collision between ambition, history, and a man who does not belong in that century.
