MUMBAI:
It has been billed as the world's first daily mythological
series. From 26 August, seven channels of the Eenadu TV
Network began airing "Darshan Do Bhagwan", a unique religious
show.
Whereas, in a typical mythological format each story continues
for 52 - 104 weeks, in the case of Darshan Do Bhagwan, the
viewer gets to understand all he wants within five half
hour episodes, an official release says. The series will
also explore some hitherto unknown facets of Indian culture,
history and mythology.
"Through Darshan Do Bhagwan, we not only provide the Darshan
of the revered deity in its original form but also tell
the yet untold story behind the particular 'teerth' (pilgrimage
centre) and what happened during various ages at that particular
holy place. We wish to share with a whole new generation
of Indians, the richness and diversity of our culture and
history as well as make them aware of the whys behind our
Indianness, rituals, festivals and practices," says co-producer
and COO of In House Productions, Uday Sinh Wala.
The production of Darshan Do Bhagwan involves different
set of creative teams to shoot different stories giving
a certain and definite freshness to the series; new setting,
costumes and music every week will provide much needed relief,
the release says.
In
an attempt to reach out to a wider audience, the series
has been dubbed in four languages and is being telecast
on seven channels of the ETV network. Music forms an integral
part of the series with over 45 songs, "Bhajans" and "Aartees"
already recorded based on various folk tunes from different
states of India.
The
curtain raiser episode was on Sunday 25 August. The telecast
began on 26 August and is from Monday to Friday. On the
ETV Hindi Network covering UP, Bihar, MP and Rajasthan the
show airs at 8:00 pm with repeat telecasts next day in the
afternoon. On ETV Gujarati the telecast is at 3:05 pm while
on ETV Oriya & Marathi it is at prime time, the release
says.
