| Udayamritham |
“Udayamritham” is a one-hour morning show focussing on heritage, culture, yoga, folklore and has been telecast non-stop everyday(6.30-7.30 am Indian Standard Time), since inception of Amrita Television, one of the leading Malayalam television channels.
Every episode of the programme is a journey through the virtues of India, spread across the land. Through hymns of peace as echoed in its epics…along monuments of high life as captured by its rising temple domes…freshness of thought as depicted in its evergreen forests…boundless compassion as reflected in the snow-topped mountains…ability to cry for others as clear as rain that purifies. This programme is the manifestation of brimming pride of nationality, and also the seamless pleasure of being an Indian.
Every morning is a revelation. A new beginning. Indian philosophy teaches us that if one could spend the first three hours after sunrise with serenity and peace, so will the entire day be. UDAYAMRITHAM captures the essence of an Indian mind that wakes up to meet the world, filled with prayers to the unending light of Sun, fresh and innocent as a dew drop.
In one hour, through more than1250 episodes, UDAYAMRITHAM had been telling the world about the goodness of life. UDAYAMRITHAM exudes with fresh life. It was a journey through the cultural nuances of the land. This is, no doubt, one of the most-acclaimed morning shows. It won the Special Jury Awards for Best Director to Reji Syne and Best Compeer to Mochita and Best Cameraman to Prasanth Lensview
