Amrita TV, the Malayalam entertainment channel, is gearing up to launch a new historical drama, Sreepadmanabham, on 26 January.
The show circumnavigates the Padmanabhaswamy temple of Travancore and depicts the tale of its past.
Directed by film director Suresh Unnithan, the show will air Monday to Friday at 9.30 pm.
Amrita TV claims that Sreepadmanabham is virtually the first television show to narrate tale of the temple that is intertwined with the history of princely Travancore and the erstwhile royal family.
Portrayed in dramatic details, the show chronicles all the highpoints in the history of the temple. It shows the periods of Ravivarma Kulasekhara to Chittira Thirunal-the development of the Ettarayogam council who controlled the temple's administration, the clashes between the King and the Pottis of the council over its management, the emergence of the Ettuveetil Pillamar as the overlords of the eight provinces of the kingdom and who became more powerful than the monarch and conspired to kill the king; how the king managed to escape the assassination attempts by the skin of his teeth; the rites and rituals special to the temple; the unwavering faith of the devotees in the powers of the deity, the lives of the artisans dependent on the temple for their livelihood -are all woven into the fabric of the tale to present a credible and engrossing depiction of the bygone age.
