BTW the serial also starred Ajit Vacchani. No matter the serial caught the fancy of people all over the country and still remains one of the most loved serial of all time. The highlight though was the brilliantly written script by none other than great Sharad Joshi, the king of hindi humour.
This incidentally was first song from the Gulzar-Vishal combo, that in times to come gave us gems like 'Goli maar bheje mein', 'sapne mein milti hai' among various others. Shailendra and Nina Gupta as the start lead, Gulzar's beautiful 'Kissa hai kahani hai paheli hai, Zindagi yeh moosa ki saheli hai' as the title song with Vishal (Yes Vishal) doing the music. Himalaya Darshan was perhaps the start of my fascination for the Himalayas, a fascination that over the times have grown more and more.ĭaane Anar Ke reminds one of all good things Doordarshan was. A brilliant episode that told the story of the legendary character of 'Pundit' who seemingly was the first person to locate the source of the river, how the mystery of Tsangpo and Brahmaputra was solved and more. I recall a story about the legendary tale of tracing the complete course of river Brahmaputra. The last run of this serial covered the Eastern Himlayas. Later in the morning, the monks tell her about the prevelant legend that the spiritual guru who founded this monestary still roams around and can be viewed only by the purest of souls. What follows in short is that Rama Vij while sleeping in her car sees an old monk who later as we find out died long ago. In yet another brilliant episode, Rama Vij's car breaks down near a Buddhist monestary and the monks does not allow her inside the monestary as women are not allowed there. Finally after seven days when he returns back to his village, he realizes that its not 7 days but 700 years that have passed. The fellow accompanies lord Shankar to mount Kailash and spends 7 days with him. The man does not believe in god and ends up meeting Lord Shankar in disguise. In one of the best episodes, a man while looking for his herd of sheeps ventures deep into the Kailash-Mansarovar territory. The second run of this exciting serial was based in the Central Himalayas. Of the various stories the one I easily recall involved a film crew going on an expedition about the mysterious Snowman 'Yeti' and what happens when they finally see one. The first run of 13 episodes dealt with the Western Himalayas, with stories from the Kashmir, Ladhakh and higher up and west. Himalaya Darshan was also a 13 episode serial, however it essentially turned out to be of 39 episodes. Only a handful like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Hum Log, Buniyaad were given bulk slots. In those days most serials were given a 13 episode slot. Himalaya Darshan was my favourite serial.
