The highly awaited Mahalaya special Jago Ma Jago Durga, which will premiere on September 21, 2025, at 5 a.m., will be presented by Zee Bangla.

The Shongharkari Roop of Maa Durga, the powerful and protective forms of the Mother Goddess, is the subject for this year. In her vengeful yet divine guises, viewers will see Maa protecting the Devas by humbling arrogance, destroying ignorance, and saving downtrodden women from injustice. This year’s Mahalaya offers a spiritual experience unlike any other, because to its mesmerizing graphics, heart-wrenching storytelling, and magnificent performers.

The actresses who will bring alive the many forms of the Goddess:

Shweta Bhattacharya as Durga, Ishani Chatterjee as Bhadrakali, Tanishka Tiwari as Gandheswari, Divyani Mondal as Tripura Sundari, Aratrika Maity as Kaushiki, Anwesha Hazra as Jagaddhatri, and Mohona Maiti as Kali. 

Renowned actress Idhika Paul, who plays both the protective Parvati and the ferocious Mahishasurmardini in the epic struggle against Mahishasura, is a unique feature of this year’s Mahalaya. Rubel Das as the powerful Mahishasura and Ranojoy Bishnu as Lord Shiva complete the divine tableau, lending grandeur and passion to the final conflict between good and evil. Zee Bangla’s Mahalaya special, with its subject of Shongharkari Roop and the stirring call of Jago Ma Jago Durga, confirms the timeless truth that the Mother Goddess awakens to defend, punish, and restore cosmic equilibrium whenever adharma arises.

The essence of Durga Puja is brought to life in Jago Ma Jago Durga, a magnificent blend of dance, music, and drama. It honors resiliency, empowerment, and the victory of good over evil with stunning imagery and stirring narrative. The Shongharkari Roop of the Goddess, this year’s theme, emphasizes the strength and resiliency of women, while Mahalaya’s ageless nostalgia inspires pride in one’s culture. It promises to inspire and strike a deep chord with audiences as a moving ode to the timeless victory of virtue over evil.

Come celebrate Maa Durga’s spirit with Zee Bangla as “Jago Ma Jago Durga” spreads the goddess’ heavenly presence into every home in Mahalaya.
