The smell of Puja has already spread in the autumn air. Durga Puja is associated with Bengali emotions, and it begins in the morning of Mahalaya. In the morning, the melody of Akashvani, listening to Mahishasuramardini in the voice of Virendrakrishna Bhadra – this tradition is an unbreakable tradition for generations. Along with the radio, the audience is not less interested in the Mahalaya program on television.
Heroines in the form of Durga on television
Where earlier Mahalaya was limited to Doordarshan screen, today that program is reaching door to door with popular Bengali channels. Television viewers are waiting, this year which heroine will appear in the form of Durga at the beginning of Devi Paksha. Every year this competition is of extreme excitement – who will ace who will ace, and whose outfit will win the hearts of the audience.
This year’s event
Mahalaya 2025 falls on September 7. And on that day, the journey of Devi Paksha will begin in the morning. Some promos have already been revealed, which have increased the curiosity of the audience. The Mahalaya program is being organized again by Zee Bangla with the touch of tradition. On the other hand, Star Jalsha and Sun Bangla are keeping different surprises in their own events. However, this year too, several popular tele and tolly heroines are the focus of the audience’s interest.
Popular faces appearance
Idhika Pal will appear as Goddess Durga in Zee Bangla’s ‘Jago Ma Jago Durga’ event. Earlier, the audience saw him as Devi Chamunda and Chandika, but this is the first time the actress will be seen in the form of Mahishasurmardini. On the other hand, Goddess Durga is becoming Koel Mallick in ‘Matrirupen Sansthita’ at the Star Jalsa ceremony. He has been seen in this role many times before and his performance has been well appreciated. Not only that, Koel is now a special emotion with Mahalaya for the audience.
Mahishasuramardini surprise again
Finally, actress Payel Dey will be seen as Mahishasuramardini in Sun Bangla program ‘Akal Bodhan’. Although he has played the role of Durga many times, the audience is going to see him again in this role after a break in the middle of a few years. As a result, this year’s Mahalaya (Mahalaya 2025) on the one hand, Koel Mallick’s experience and fluency, on the other hand, the innovation of Idhika Pal and the return of Payal De – all in all, the clash between the three heroines will be crowded. And in the end, who will make the most place in the hearts of the audience is now a matter to be seen.
