赫尔佐格这次将目光对准印度王室，一个富丽堂皇的家族，一些不为人知的风俗习惯，很多奇奇怪怪的装束和表演，在外人看来不免哑然失笑、不可思议，但赫尔佐格最伟大的地方就在于他永远客观冷静、充满人道主义的眼光，他用他不偏不颇的镜头语言，向世人传达着，在这个多元化的世界上，永远存在着坚定的立场、自得其乐的感怀、忠诚的信仰，你可以不认同，但你不能否认他们的存在，你必须尊敬他们，因为世间万物，和你呼吸的每口空气一样生动新鲜，他们和你 一样在某一角落倔强生长并茂盛灿烂。

Jag Mandir is a quiet and often overlooked film in the vast oeuvre of Werner Herzog. Apparently, 20 hours of footage was shot that covered the whole fest and the film hardly presents us a twentieth of that. A native walking into the film in between may well fail to immediately realize that it is his country that is being shown and these are figures from the mythology of various sections of his nation. The bulk of the film consists of footage of an elaborate theatrical performance for the Maharana Arvind Singh Mewar at the City Palace of Udaipur, Rajasthan staged by André Heller.
