Debi Paksha 2011


Its again that time of the year when we start the festivities officially..... yes yet another Mahalaya is knocking on our doors. Tommorrow at the crack of dawn, the enchanting voice of Birendra Krishna Bhadra will fill our hearts out.



In this digital age, leaving out all the comfort of the iphones, ipads, 3G, dolby fx sound, we bengalis will turn the good old radio on and just listen to the pure eternal bliss of Mr. Bhadra's recitation. The legendary narrator recites the holy verses and tells the story of the descent of Durga to earth, in his inimitable style.

Bhadra has long passed away, but his recorded voice still forms the core of the Mahalaya program. In a sonorous, reverberating voice Birendra Bhadra renders the Mahalaya recital for two thrilling hours, mesmerizing every household with the divine aura of his narration, as the Bengalis submerge their souls in quiet moments of prayer.



For those out of station, do not be melancholy. Just note down the local station frequencies where AIR will air the programme............
