Zee Bangla, Bengal’s leading entertainment channel, proudly presents it’s most anticipated Mahalaya special “Jago Ma Jago Durga”, airing on 21st September, 2025 at 5 am. This year’s theme focuses on the Shongharkari Roop of Maa Durga — the fierce and protective manifestations of the Mother Goddess. Viewers will witness Maa in her avenging yet divine avatars: rescuing oppressed women from injustice, dispelling the darkness of ignorance, and humbling arrogance to safeguard the Devas. With captivating visuals, soul-stirring narration, and majestic performances, this year’s Mahalaya promises a spiritual experience like no other.
The powerful ensemble cast brings alive the many forms of the Goddess:
Shweta Bhattacharya as Durga , Ishani Chatterjee as Bhadrakali , Tanishka Tiwari as Gandheswari , Divyani Mondal as Tripura Sundari, Aratrika Maity as Kaushiki, Anwesha Hazra as Jagaddhatri , Mohona Maiti as Kali. A special highlight of this year’s Mahalaya is renowned cinema star Idhika Paul, who delivers a dual portrayal — as the nurturing Parvati and the fierce Mahishasurmardini, culminating in the epic battle against Mahishasura. Completing the divine tableau are Ranojoy Bishnu as Lord Shiva, and in another key highlight, Rubel Das as the formidable Mahishasura, adding grandeur and intensity to the climactic duel between good and evil. With its theme of Shongharkari Roop and the evocative call of “Jago Ma Jago Durga”, Zee Bangla’s Mahalaya special once again reaffirms the eternal truth — whenever adharma rises, the Mother Goddess awakens to protect, to punish, and to restore cosmic balance.
“Jago Ma Jago Durga” is a grand fusion of music, dance, and drama that brings alive the spirit of Durga Puja. With breathtaking visuals and powerful storytelling, it celebrates resilience, empowerment, and the triumph of good over evil. Rooted in the nostalgia of Mahalaya, this spectacular production pays tribute to the divine feminine while uniting Bengalis worldwide.” said Mr Samrat Ghosh, Chief Cluster Officer – East, North And Premium Cluster, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd.
“Jago Ma Jago Durga” will mesmerize audiences with powerful visuals and storytelling, portraying the nine forms of Devi Durga with strength and grace. This year’s theme, the Shongharkari Roop of the Goddess, highlights women’s empowerment and resilience, while the timeless nostalgia of Mahalaya evokes cultural pride.
