Mumbai: JioHotstar continues to redefine India’s live-streaming experience, making cultural and spiritual moments more accessible to millions. Following the resounding success of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres and Mahashivratri: The Divine Night, the platform is now set to bring the grandeur of Ram Navami to audiences through a special livestream on 6th April, from 8 AM to 1 PM, featuring the legendary Padma Vibhushan Shri Amitabh Bachchan as the narrator of the Ram Katha.

At the heart of the event, Shri Amitabh Bachchan will narrate the Ram Katha, reflecting on Lord Ram’s values and their significance in today’s world. The livestream will portray the seven kands of the Ramayana, bringing to life Lord Ram’s journey in an evocative manner. As a special segment, Shri Bachchan will host an interactive session with children, narrating select stories and couplets from the epic in an engaging, relatable format.
The event will feature a special pooja from Ayodhya, live aartis from Bhadrachalam, Panchvati, Chitrakoot, and Ayodhya, along with soul-stirring devotional performances by renowned artists, including Kailash Kher and Malini Awasthi.
Speaking on the initiative, a JioHotstar spokesperson stated, “Our live streaming capabilities have enabled us to bring culturally significant experiences to viewers across India. The overwhelming success of events from live sports to Coldplay – Live from Ahmedabad to the 14-hour livestream of the recent Mahashivratri: The Divine Night has inspired us to push boundaries and offer unparalleled experiences to Indian consumers. Ram Navami is a deeply revered occasion in our country, and we’re honored to bring its sacred celebrations to millions in every corner of the country. With the legend himself, Shri Amitabh Bachchan narrating Lord Ram’s journey, this experience promises to evoke profound emotions on this auspicious occasion.”
