In The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles season 1 episode 5, titled "Journey of Radiance," Indy goes on an adventure to India with his father, Professor Henry Jones Sr. The episode opens with Indy and his father participating in a lecture on the Khajuraho temples, where they are introduced to Prince Kasim, a wealthy visitor from India. After the lecture, Kasim tells Indy about his father's search for a sacred relic known as the Peacock's Eye, which is rumored to have mystical powers. Kasim suggests that Indy and his father accompany him to India to help in the search.

Indy and his father agree to go to India with Kasim and soon find themselves embroiled in a dangerous mission to find the Peacock's Eye. They begin their journey in the city of Benares, where they visit the famous Ghats, which are a series of stairs leading down to the river Ganges. While there, they meet Chatterji, an Indian guide who agrees to help them in their quest.

Their next stop is at a local market, where Kasim negotiates with a merchant for a map that may lead them to the Peacock's Eye. The map takes them to a temple, but before they enter, they are warned by a local sadhu, or holy man, about the dangers of the temple. Despite this warning, they enter the temple.

Inside the temple, they find a maze of corridors and puzzles that they must solve to get to the Peacock's Eye. Along the way, they are pursued by a group of thieves who are also after the relic. Together, they navigate through the temple, avoiding traps and solving puzzles until they finally reach the Peacock's Eye.

But as they prepare to leave the temple, they are cornered by the thieves, who have caught up to them. A fight breaks out, and Indy and his companions are forced to defend themselves. In the chaos, the Peacock's Eye is lost, and they are forced to flee the temple.

As they leave the temple, they are pursued by the thieves, who have now turned into a full-fledged mob. Indy and his companions barely manage to escape and make their way to the safety of a nearby village. While there, they are visited by the sadhu who warned them earlier. The sadhu tells them that the Peacock's Eye is not a mere relic, but a powerful symbol of peace and unity between the various religious groups in India.

The episode ends with Indy and his father reflecting on the lessons they learned during their journey and the importance of respecting other cultures and religious beliefs.
