About the role

The lighthouse keeper's primary responsibility was to ensure that the light never went out. Despite a massive annual salary of Rs 30 crores, the job was considered the toughest in the world due to its isolated and dangerous nature. The keeper had to stay alone amidst the sea, endure dangerous storms, and ensure the light remained on at all times. The lighthouse was often battered by high sea waves, which sometimes completely covered it, putting the keeper's life at risk. The solitary nature of the job, combined with the extreme conditions, made it difficult for anyone to take on this role, despite the high salary and minimal tasks.
