To complement the grandeur of this love saga, Star Bharat will showcase the immortal representation of RadhaKrishn’s love – Krishn’s Bansuri. The love that Krishn and Radha shared is incomplete without the Bansuri - whenever Krishn would play it, Radha would find herself completely drawn to him. To celebrate RadhaKrishn’s love through this symbol, Star Bharat will initiate a first of its kind – “Bansuri Yatra”- across 100+ towns and cities, through the heartland of the country, for all to see. The 10-foot, golden Bansuri, adorned with peacock feathers, will begin its journey at the birthplace of Krishn where it will be blessed by 151 pujaaris, after which it will provide an immersive consumer experience to those in its path; transporting one back to the era of RadhaKrishn. The Bansuri was unveiled today by the cast in Vrindavan, kick-starting the auspicious journey of RadhaKrishn.
