Preparations took Tk 2.83 crore and the monthly revenue is expected to be Tk 5 lakh. Eminent writer and poet Syed Shamsul Haq prepared the narration while cultural personalities Shimul Yousuf and Asaduzzaman Noor gave their voice.
The show will be introduced in many of Bangladesh's 448 archeological sites, including Buddhist Vihara of Paharpur, Shaatgombuj Masjid in Bagerhat, Kantajew Mandir and Mohasthangar, added Asaduzzaman.
