In the Hindu tradition, the deity Jagannath undergoes Nabakalebara, symbolizing a new incarnation. This rare ritual occurred recently in Puri, Odisha, after nineteen years. The documentary "God's own People" delves into the profound relationship between Odia people and their deity. It explores themes of anticipation, love, longing, faith, and surrender, as a cherished tree is selected to craft new idols for the divine, evoking deep spiritual contemplation.
