The stories of the Pandavas, the Kauravas, and Lord Krishna have been deeply intertwined with Bengali culture for centuries. Long before television, the epic was popularized in Bengal through Kathakata (traditional storytelling) and Jatra (folk theater).

Star Jalsha, the channel that aired the Bengali version, is a prominent part of the Star India network, which is now owned by The Walt Disney Company. Launched in September 2008, the channel quickly became a household name for its diverse programming, which includes family dramas, comedies, reality shows, and mythological series.
