Wan Raaz Trivikramasen

Wan Raaz Trivikramasen! Answer King Trivikramasen’ Baital needles the king into answering his trick questions in a 1960s (?) Kashmiri production of Baital Pachisi for Radio Kashmir. The popular  radio show was probably based on Kashmirian Somadeva’s Vetalapanchavirhsati  in which the hero, the King  is called ‘Trivikramasena, the son of Vikramasena’ ** but still refers to the semi-legendary Vikrama or Vikramaditya of Jain tradition.

  1. That was much before Vikram – Betaal of Doordarshan. Suprisingly in those days when TVs didnt exist in homes… the Radio Drama was superhit in Kashmir… This was one of the reasons for the TV Serial being popular too in Kashmir.. the 25 Tales of Betaal…

  2. True…and radio Kashmir did have a lot of talent. I keep hearing so much about it. I wish there was way to dig out its archives.
