Ahead of the telecast of mythological show Baal Shiv, story of the Baal Roop of Lord Shiva,  actors of the show celebrated Dev Deepawali in the abode of Lord Shiva in Varanasi.

The entire cast of Baal Shiv, comprising of Aan Tiwari, Mouli Ganguly, Siddharth Arora and Shivya Pathania visited Assi Ghat, where they greeted the fans and celebrating the grand Dev Deepawali by lighting the lamp.

Talking about his first visit to Dev Deepawali, Aan Tiwari, who assays Baal Shiv's role, said,"Varanasi is such a beautiful city. It is my first Dev Deepawali, and I was completely blown looking at so many beautiful diyas lighting up the city. I am glad that I got the chance to visit Varanasi to promote our show, Baal Shiv and witness this magical moment first-hand. I am an ardent Lord Shiva bhakt and know Mahadev Stutis by heart."

Mouli Ganguly,  who plays the role of Mahasati Anusuya in Baal Shiv,  said that participating in the celebration of Dev Deepawali in Varanasi was a surreal experience for  her.

"I had only heard and seen the Dev Deepawali celebration on television and social media, and witnessing it, in reality, was such a surreal experience. It was so magical to see the entire town lit up with diyas. We were so overwhelmed with so much love and affection from everyone. The people present there just made the whole event even more special with their love and blessings.

I could feel the holy presence of the almighty at that very place which made me even more confident that the show will do wonders on the small screen," Mouli Ganguly said.

Talking about Mahasati Anusuya's character, Mouli said that the character of Mahasati Anusuya is the perfect balance of compassion and determination.

'She imparts knowledge and cultivates discipline to the students at the Gurukul. The story narrates the beautiful and eternal bond of the mother and son,'the actress said.

Siddharth Arora,  who is assaying the role of Mahadev,  said he was delighted to be back in Varanasi for celebration of Dev Deepawali.

"Dev Deepawali in Varanasi is an experience worth visiting as it is one of the most celebrated festivals. Every ghat in the city comes alive with millions of diyas lit at the same time across town. Dev Deepawali or Dev Diwali marks Lord Shiva's victory over demon Tripurasur and comes after 15 days of Diwali," he said.

Talking about Mahadev's character, Siddharth said, "I have grown up listening to Mahadev's tales. He is one of the most revered Gods. I could not have asked for anything more significant than essaying his character on screen. Mahadev's role is a blessing from Lord Shiva to me. While there have been several fascinating shows on Lord Shiva and his various roops, one story that has not been shown before on Indian television is the story of his Baal Roop,'he said.

Shivya Pathania, who is essaying Devi Parvati's role, said that being at Varanasi's Assi Ghat for the celebrations was a visual delight.

"Assi Ghat was a visual delight. I was in awe of the beauty of the place and the magnitude of the celebration. I am so elated that we got this opportunity to mark the beginning of our show Baal Shiv in such a holy land of Varanasi, also known as Shiv Ki Nagri. I felt that Lord Shiva was right there with us, blessing us for this new beginning.

Fans reached out to us and shared how excited they are for the premiere of our show and that they are looking forward to seeing us on the screen. I am thankful to Varanasi for an amazing and magical experience," she said.

Talking about Devi Parvati's character, Shivya said, "It is a pivotal role. Devi Parvati will be seen after getting married to Shiv, settling in her new phase of life. Initially, she will be demanding and will have certain apprehensions, but eventually, she will understand the true nature of Kailash. It is indeed a challenging role." 

For the first time on Indian television,  &TV  show Baal Shiv will present an untold story of Lord Shiva's Baal roop .

Aptly positioned Mahadev Ki Undekhi Gatha, the show, produced by Zee Studios, will depict the mythical Katha of the mother and son, Mahasati Anusuya and Baal Shiv and their eternal bond.

Considered Infinite and the Unborn, Lord Shiva had taken many avatars, but he had never experienced childhood and mother's love. However, post his marriage with Devi Parvati, Mahadev takes the form of a child to fulfil Devi Parvati's wish and becomes the dutiful son of Mahasati Anusuya. 

Produced by Zee Studios, Baal Shiv features a stellar cast including Aan Tiwari ( as Baal Shiv), Mouli Ganguly (as Mahasati Anusuya), Siddharth Arora (as Mahadev), Shivya Pathania ( as Devi Parvati), Krrip Kapur Suri (as Asur Andhak), Praneet Bhatt (as Narad Muni), Danish Akhtar Saifi (as Nandi), Dakssh Ajit Singh (as Indra), Anjita Poonia (as Indrani), Ravi Khanvilkar (as Archarya Dandpani), Pallavi Pradhan (as Maina Devi), amongst others.
