Krishna's Dwarka TV Discovery will see the coming together of religion and history

[krsna]

India and Indians are going to be in Discovery's focus like never before.

 

The channel, in its arguably biggest investment in India so far, will be

shooting an episode on India and Lord Krishna's Dwarka, the submerged city

in the western coast of India. The shoot will involve underwater filming

which will take viewers to the remains of the once-great city. The cost

will easily run into millions of dollars.

 

Discovery had received great reviews and wow ratings when it had telecast

the unearthing of Egypt's queen Cleopatra's palace off the coast of

modern-day Alexandria. The episode on Dwarka is expected to do even

better.

Krishna's Dwarka will no doubt see the coming together of religion and

history.

 

The episode, according to Discovery's programming director, Pankaj Saxena,

will be a part of the channel's special programming plan, dubbed as Atlas,

a multi-million dollar project. "The episode on India will be a part of

the

26 episodes that Atlas is going to chronicle across 26 countries," Saxena

said.

 

Indian viewers need to be patient for the Dwarka episode since the

telecast

will take place only in 2005.
