[NO SPOILERS of Season 6 Finale] India loves Game of Thrones. Before the season started, we had fun determining our favorite characters' Style preferences based on the Discern Style Guide. As the memorable season draws to a close, we reflect upon a few of its most epic scenes and moments. We find GoT inspiration all around us at home in India - from the scenic beauty to the dramatic architecture. Okay, so Winter Is NOT Coming to India (replace Winter with Monsoon!), but we've found the Indian counterpart to our favorite settings from Season 6. Great Pyramid of Mereen

As Daenerys inevitably stormed back to re-take Mereen and Slaver's Bay from the slavers, we saw the realization of her power, ambition, and modern rule against the historic backdrop.

Like the Great Pyramid of Mereen, the famous Antilia building housing the powerful Ambani family looms over South Mumbai as it overlooks the Arabian Sea. It holds great power as it represents the potential wealth of modern India. Why have a helipad when you can have a dragon-pad?

Winterfell and the North

Battle of the Bastards has arguably served as the most epic battle of the series, rivalling Stannis' siege of the capital. After holding such importance and honor in Season One, Winterfell has faced pain and anguish representing the eponymous Stark phrase "Winter Is Coming." With Jon and Sansa's return, once again, the Starks and Winterfell became the focal point of the show, as the last bastion of civilisation before the mysteries Beyond The Wall.

Leh is one of the keys to the north and snow of Ladakh, an enchanting and mysterious land in North India. The harsh winter and epic mountains and landscapes are incomparable anywhere else in India. Sure, someone might compare it to the Vale of Arryn, but due to its strategic importance and sweeping landscapes, we could see the Stark children roaming Ladakh with their Direwolves!

Street Plays in Braavos

Arya's witness to a local play showcased how the outside world viewed her family's demise, and served as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of her home. The outdoor play in Braavos brought a colonial and rustic feel to the set.

Lady Crane's plays reminded us of the traditional Indian street plays that still provide many communities and organisations an important vehicle for communication of relevant social messages and entertainment throughout India today.
