Background

Roshani (left) and Suravasa (right)

Suravasa is a village in India, located across the river from Roshani.

There is a Shambali temple located in the village which houses a statue of Aurora, and was the first stop on her pilgrimage.

During a construction project in Roshani by the Vishkar Corporation, the ground breaking caused a tremor that destroyed the statue of Aurora. Symmetra was sent in to do whatever she could to make it up to the people of the village. After spending a week in the temple as a pilgrim, she repaired the statue with golden hard-light using the techniques of kintsugi.

Development

An early sketch of Suravasa's layout

• Suravasa was originally developed as an Assault map under the name "India". With the game mode being removed from standard play, the development team saw that as a perfect opportunity to repurpose it for the Flashpoint game mode, as they really wanted to represent the location in the world of Overwatch.

• Suravasa originally had a river running through it. It was removed during development.
