Every year Mahalaya symbolises the end of Pitri Paksha and the begining of Devi Paksha. We perform the ritual of Tarpan for our forefathers on this day. With Mahalaya, we start the final preparation for Durga Puja which starts on the day of Shashti. In the morning of Mahalaya we listen to the special radio programme Mahishasura Mardini which is aired from All India Radio. Many television channels also produce dance drama or short plays based on many aspects of Durga Puja or Navratri. These are the names of the programme which were aired on different channels of Television on the occasion of Mahalaya day in 2023.
