The village was designed by production designer, Christopher Glass, during quarantine, who was provided by a scale model of the landscape, as well as figurine buildings, for the layout of the land.[1]
The scenes of Partition consisted of an estimated 500 extras present, with historically accurate steam engines and trains, created by the production designers and the entirety of the art department.[1]
Costume designer, Arjun Bhasin and his team crafted every piece costume featured in the episode. While remaining faithful to what was considered period accurate, he was mindful to mantain individuality and a color palette to every costume, to reflect individual personalities.[1]
