Televisionpoint.com Correspondent
Amrita TV's morning programme 'Udayamritam' has been featured in the Limca Book of Records 2007 for creating the Longest single-shot non-fiction programme in Indian television.
The citation states, "Udayamritam is a one-hour morning program telecast on Amrita Television, a Malayalam satellite television which was launched on April 14, 2005. A special programme was conceived for Onam, the festival that all sections in Kerala identify with. Different traditional art forms were brought together at Arangottukara village in Thrissur district in Central Kerala. The filming was done in one shot for 55 mins in front of Varakkappally Mana, one of the important landmarks in he region, and aired on Sept 5, 2006."
"Around 50 traditional artists and 75 crew members worked in unison to create this episode of Udayamritam.Unlike fiction, the team were not able to dub the audio later and so went ahead with spot recording. The entire sequence was recorded using a hand-held camera. The show was anchored by Mochitha, winner of the State Award for Best Television Presenter 2005-2006. Reji Syne was the director and Prasanth the cameraman." it says.
Udayamritam is a one-hour morning show focussing on heritage, culture, yoga, folklore and has been telecast non-stop everyday (6.30-7.30 am IST), since inception of the channel.
