Where is the new(?) Indian Overwatch 2 map?

So, as well as New York and Rome being introduced in Blizzconline, we got a couple of looks at an Indian map that we had been given a glimpse at during Symmetra’s Restoration challenge in November 2020. As well as the skin challenge, the Overwatch team released a short story, about 25 pages long check it out if you haven’t I think it was really good, Stone by Stone. In the story, Symmetra is sent to a temple in Suravasa, India where she meets Zenyatta who is visiting there from Nepal. 

Once I had finished looking over all of the new and old information, I realized that Suravasa and the new Indian map are one in the same. We know this because of a two main reasons. One, both places have a statue of Aurora surrounded by gold, a religious Omnic leader. Two, Zenyatta is there.

Having Suravasa being the new Indian map that seems to have a story challenge mission in it, would also be a good way to have Symmetra join/interact with Overwatch.  After Stone by Stone, I think that Symmetra was starting to question Vishkar so having her visiting the Suracasa temple and being there when Sombra, Widow, and Talon attack, shown in Blizzconline, this would be a good motivation for her to join Overwatch, if only temporarily.
