HistoryTV18’s super-successful factual entertainment series, ‘OMG! Yeh Mera India’ has returned for a seventh season, making viewers across the country go “OMG!” every Monday at 8 PM. The show features some of the most incredible and inspirational people from big and small towns across the length and breadth of India. And the next episode of the series, this Monday at 8 PM only on HistoryTV18, features two amazing Indians from the state of Karnataka: an 11-year-old human spinning wheel and India’s first music museum.
In Udupi, Karnataka, lives the 11-year-old world record holder, Tanushree Pitrody. A trained Bharatnatyam dancer, she has more than 400 performances across India to her credit. She’s also a Yoga expert, and her gob-smacking talent includes extraordinary achievements like 44 full body revolutions while standing on her chest and contorting her incredibly agile body, for which she even holds a world record. As she also does for the being able to accomplish a whopping 62 forward rolls in a mere minute. Watch the episode this Monday at 8 PM to be stunned by her extremely elastic body that can do as many as 19 back plank recline crunches, an extreme yoga move called the niralamba poorna chakrasana.
From the coastal town of Udupi, the episode also takes viewers to Bengaluru, the capital city of Karnataka, to visit India’s first music museum. This interactive museum has amazing gems in its collection, including some instruments that are not even made any more. Some of the country’s most illustrious musicians and their families have even donated some priceless memorabilia, like Pandit Ravi Shankar’s sitar, Bismillah Khan’s shehnai, and MS Subbalakshmi’s tambura. A fascinating feature of this museum is that along with touch screens and music demonstrations, it also contains interactive exhibits that give visitors a chance to create their own music while learning how the basic principles of physics combine to produce the most soul-stirring sounds. Watch all this and more this Monday at 8 PM, on HistoryTV18.
