The Srimad Bhagwat Purana. Every adhyaya, told as a katha.
A king with seven days left to live asked what he should hear. This was the answer.
Our first series: 12 skandhas and 335 adhyayas, told in Hindi through narration and illustrations.
Special series launch: November 14, 2026.
Monday–Friday, 6 a.m. · India time
A katha is meant to be heard.
In a katha, one voice tells the story and everyone listens together, from the oldest in the room to the youngest.
Parikshit asks. Shukadeva answers. That conversation carries the whole Bhagwat, and families have gathered around it for generations.
This series keeps that warmth and brings the katha home, one adhyaya at a time.
Hear it for yourself.
This is the night of Krishna’s birth. Vasudeva carries the baby through the storm, and the Yamuna makes way.
It comes from Skandha 10. The series begins at the start of the Purana, so this story arrives in its place as episode 204.
The 51-second channel trailer, in Hindi.
Three generations. One katha.
For those who heard it in person
You grew up with these kathas. Hear them again in Hindi, told with warmth, whenever you like and for as long as you like.
For those who know some of it
You know Krishna, Prahlada and Dhruva. Now meet everyone else, and see how the stories connect. Here is the whole Purana, in order.
For children growing up far from home
They may never sit through a katha in person. These are stories to watch together, with Hindi narration and illustrations that follow the telling.
335 adhyayas. 335 lamps.
Each lamp is one chapter. Lamps light up only as full chapters are released, beginning with Skandha 1, Chapter 1. The trailer does not count as a released chapter. Choose a skandha to see its adhyayas.
