Mumbai: Hari Om OTT, India’s streaming platform for Vedic history and devotional content, has announced its new series Jai Mahalakshmi, featuring Puja Banerjee in the lead role. The series tells the story of goddess Mahalakshmi, embodying wealth, prosperity, and fortune. Blending traditional storytelling with modern production, it offers a visual portrayal of devotion, compassion, and wisdom.
In Jai Mahalakshmi, the divine goddess descends from her celestial abode to restore balance in the universe, confronting the chaos unleashed by the demon Kolhasur. With the guidance of Lord Vishnu and her own unparalleled wisdom and strength, she battles the forces of darkness to protect humanity and restore prosperity. The series beautifully showcases the goddess's power, compassion, and timeless values as she overcomes challenges to bring peace and harmony to the cosmos.
Banerjee said, “After taking a break from the industry, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to play Mata Lakshmi. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime role, and as someone who has always held great belief in the goddess, it was deeply personal for me. I’ve fasted every Thursday in devotion to Mata Lakshmi, so portraying her on screen felt like a natural extension of my faith. This role allowed me to connect spiritually while bringing her grace, strength, and compassion to life. It’s more than just a character—it’s a journey of empowerment that I’m proud to share with the world.”
She further added, “The role demanded not just physical preparation but emotional depth. Her journey in the show is not just about the battles she fights but also about the wisdom she imparts. It’s an honor to bring this iconic character to life on screen, and I hope audiences feel inspired by her as much as I did portraying her.”
Hari Om OTT CEO Megha Agarwal said, “We are thrilled to bring Jai Mahalakshmi to audiences at a time that perfectly aligns with the essence of Mata Lakshmi’s story and the values she embodies. From the visuals to the storytelling, everything was crafted to deliver an epic experience, inviting viewers of all generations to explore the greatness and incredible journey of Mata Lakshmi. With Jai Mahalakshmi, we are proud to showcase India’s rich culture and heritage to the world, connecting audiences with our vibrant traditions and spiritual legacy.”

Jai Mahalakshmi is a testament to that goal, blending mythology with engaging visuals. We’re proud to bring such a culturally significant story to life for the first time on Indian OTT.”
