COLORS invites you to embrace ‘Sukh’, ‘Saamarthya,’ and ‘Santoolan’ with universe’s ideal couple in ‘Laxmi Narayan’
Mumbai: Every husband and wife complement each other’s existence and energy, harmoniously balancing the scales of the world they create together. This course began with the divine couple, goddess Laxmi and Lord Vishnu, who epitomize the perfect synergy between spouses across millennia. Riding high on the success of ‘ShivShakti-Tap Tyaag Tandav,’ COLORS is gearing up to showcase the epic saga of universe’s ideal couple Goddess Laxmi and Lord Vishnu with ‘Laxmi Narayan’. With a fervent belief that “Har Ghar Mein Hain Laxmi Narayan,” this mythological saga promises viewers the key to unlocking the trove of Sukh, Saamarthya, and Santoolan and inspire them to welcome abundance into their house. Starring Srikant Dwivedi and Shivya Pathania in the roles of Narayan and Laxmi respectively, and produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s Swastik Productions, ‘Laxmi Narayan’ premieres on 22 April and will air every Monday to Friday at 10 pm only on COLORS.
Alok Jain, President, General Entertainment, Viacom18, says, “After the astounding success of ‘Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyag Tandav’, resonating deeply with audiences nationwide, we are elated to introduce our newest offering ‘Laxmi Narayan’. Mythological shows hold a special place in our culture, serving as a unifying force for families. It’s a saga that celebrates the gods ‘Laxmi’ and ‘Narayan’, the perfect couple. Through our show, we aim to unveil the lesser-known stories of this divine couple, and we hope that the show will give valuable life lessons on compatibility, trust, mutual respect, and facing challenges together.”
Swastik Productions founder & chief creator Siddharth Kar said, “It is said that behind every great man stands a woman of divine grace. One of the ultimate truths of the cosmos is that it is the presence of Laxmi that elevates mere mortals to the stature of Narayan. After the tremendous outpouring of love for Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyag Tandav, Swastik Productions is proud to be fortifying its mythological universe with Laxmi Narayan. The eternal saga of the divine couple shows what the pursuit of righteousness and abundance entails. It is creatively fulfilling to be joining hands with COLORS yet again to celebrate the glory of the ideal couple revered by the masses and strengthen the mythology genre in the television industry.”
