Doordarshan is once again airing 'Ramayana' and 'Mahabharata' between Corona transition and lockdown in India. The broadcast of these religious TV programs, which were very popular at the time, started from Saturday, while Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar gave this information through his official Twitter handle. He wrote, "On Saturday 28 March on the demand of the public, 'Ramayana' will start airing again on Doordarshan's National Channel. The first episode will be at 9.00 am and the second episode will be at 9.00 pm." In another tweet, he also gave information related to the broadcast of 'Mahabharata'. Along with this, Prakash Javadekar tweeted, "Two episodes of 'Mahabharata' can be shown daily on DD Bharti at 12 noon and 7 pm on March 28." 

#Ramayan and #Mahabharat were also seen in the top trends on Twitter. For your information, let us tell you that there is a discussion on social media that the shooting of the existing TV serials is not being done due to the lockdown, perhaps that is why the decision to re-telecast the Ramayana and Mahabharata was taken. However, the government has not made any official comment regarding this. The Ramayana, directed by Ramanand Sagar and the Mahabharata, directed by BR Chopra, became very popular among Indian audiences. Ramayana also gained more popularity among them. When the Ramayana is broadcast again, let's look at some interesting aspects related to this program. After the completion of 78 episodes of Ramayana, the audience demanded the story of Luv-Kush. Along with this, Ramanand Sagar was not ready for this story and he said that if he makes the story of Luv-Kush, then it will be a fictional story.

Many controversies came to light after this story came on TV and Ramanand Sagar had a court case for ten years. Along with this, when Ravana dies in 'Ramayana', mourning was done in the village of Arvind Trivedi who played Ravana. During the Ramayana, when a lot of junior artists were needed, they would go from village to village to make announcements with the drums and recruit the artists. When the Ramayana serial came on TV in the 80s, it also saw many special effects, such as bringing Hanuman's Sanjeevani booti and flying Pushpak aircraft. Ramayana, shown in five continents, was seen on TV by more than 65 crore people worldwide. Actress Deepika Chikhaliya, who plays Sita, brought alive the role of Sita in Ramayana by acting brilliantly. Each week the cassettes of the latest episodes of the Ramayana were sent to Doordarshan's office, and many a time the cassettes arrived half an hour before the broadcast. The shooting of the Ramayana lasted for more than 550 consecutive days.
