- The film's temple scenes were shot at the ancient Jageshwar Dham, a rarely filmed 8th-century Shiva temple complex.
- Director Shourya Kumar Lal wrote the script during a silent retreat in the same Uttarakhand valley where the story is set.
- Lead actor Vihaan Verma learned basic Garhwali phrases from local priests to authentically deliver certain temple dialogue.
- The 'cryptic note' prop was handwritten using a fading ink formula that mimics how old letters actually deteriorate.
- Cinematographer Arjun Mehta used only natural light and reflective surfaces for all interior temple shots to maintain authenticity.
- The film's soundtrack incorporates a 200-year-old folk melody from the region, recorded with traditional dhol and turi instruments.
- This was the first Indian production granted permission to film dawn rituals at three protected Himalayan shrines.
