Episode 3
Rob and Rylan discover an erotic temple, try mud-wrestling for spiritual growth, and have to go barefoot through India’s holiest city.
Rob and Rylan are on the final leg of their Indian adventure. They’re bound for Varanasi, the spiritual heart of India, where millions come to wash away their sins before they die. But first, the boys head to the famous erotic temples of Khajuraho, ancient structures covered in carvings depicting all kinds of carnal pleasure.
In Varanasi, they drift down the sacred Ganges, witnessing pilgrims chasing ‘moksha’ - liberation from reincarnation. They join a mud-wrestling club inspired by Hanuman, the monkey god of strength.
There are other forms of spiritual journey available in the city. A guru tells Rob he must walk barefoot through the town, dodging cow dung and existential dread as he goes. Rylan, meanwhile, is told he must find a path to enlightenment through yoga.
