Beyond the theatrical screen.

Alongside features, the studio has produced long-form documentaries, devotional television and — most ambitiously — the narrative design for two of India's most visited museums, including the hundred-acre Virasat-e-Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib.

Virasat-e-Khalsa

Anandpur Sahib, Punjab

The world's largest museum dedicated to a single community — a 100-acre storytelling complex celebrating five hundred years of Sikh history and the 300th anniversary of the Khalsa Panth. Architecture by Moshe Safdie. Commissioned by the Government of Punjab, Bedi and his team created the complex's audio-visual content: nine art films in three languages, animation drawn in the Mughal and Pahari painting traditions, and songs that carry the visitor through the history of Punjab in eight minutes. Inaugurated on 25 November 2011 and opened to the public two days later.

Sri Krishna Museum, Kurukshetra

A new multimedia wing of the Sri Krishna Museum in Kurukshetra, devoted to the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita — the 700-verse scripture set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Commissioned by the Government of Haryana, Bedi designed the building as well as its content, drawing on years of Mahabharata research to create comics, animation and multimedia installations that stage the epic as spectacle rather than display. Added to the museum in 2012.
