Caminho das Indias is a Brazilian telenovela created by Gloria Perez that first aired on Rede Globo in 2009, following romances and family stories split between Brazil and India. Its soundtrack leaned heavily on Indian instruments and melodies to mark the Indian storylines, and clips from that musical identity kept circulating online long after the finale. Viewers in Brazil still associate the style with the novela, which is why short excerpts are reused on soundboards and in edits whenever an unmistakably Indian musical cue is needed for humour or atmosphere.
