After silver screen portrayal of long running epics like Ramanand Sagar's 'Ramayan' andB.R Chopra's 'Mahabharata', Indian channels are again witnessing a surge in mythological audience, especially after the launch of the mythological tale of Shiva and Sati on Life OK.

Populalry known as 'Devon ke dev… Mahadev', the show was launched in December, 2011, but it has been garnering popularity since then. Whether it's the maha episodes,
which shoot the TRP charts or the regular episodes of the show, the epic drama of
Shiva and Parvati keeps the audience glued to their seats.

The drama is said to be based on the renowned works of the mythologist, Devdutt
patnaik. The show bears stories of Shiva, referred as Mahadev here, taken from
legends, including Veds and Puranas.

Man's eternal fascination and inclination towards mythology is once again clearly
evident through the huge fan following of the well scripted show. The popularity is
primarily owing to the eventful plot, coupled with the authenticity of the story
line, with respect to the written legends in the puranas.

Right from the marriage of Shiva and Sati, the birth of Parvati from King Himavan,
Samudra manthan, birth of Kartikeya, finding Ganesha to the much destructive
'tandava', every tale is etched from the stories, penned by famous mythologists.

Along with genuineness of the storyline, the elaborate sets, costumes and the star
chemistry between the on screen Shiva and Parvati, Mohit Raina and Sonarika Bhadoria
respectively, keep the story line captivating enough for the audience.

The show has become so popular that now the serial has been dubbed in other regional
languages like Malayalam and Telugu, to cater to the regional audience. In fact, an
entire range of DVD's of the show is also available at various online stores, for
purchase.

The show makers have done a wonderful job in keeping the show authentic, creative
and above all very creative. It's the perfect masterpiece in the mythological genre,
which is bound to captivate the audience for a long time. After all, like all good
stories, the story line has drama, action, fantasy, devotion and above all love, which complements all.
