Episode 3: The Magic of Mahalaya - India's Longest Running Radio Show

Mahalaya is the day that marks the beginning of Bengal's, and maybe India's most iconic festival - Durga Puja or Navratri. Mahalaya is synonymous with the Bengali radio program Mahishasur Mardini, which is a mix of songs, scripture recitation, and a dramatic narration of the feminist mythological tale of Goddess Durga slaying the misogynistic demon Mahishasur. Komolika talks about why this radio program is so popular and the longest running Indian radio show ever - and her feminist take on the myth and the art of the show itself. Happy Mahalaya!
