DURGA DURGATI HARINI... UTTAM KUMAR

"Since the early 1930s, Mahalaya has become synonymous with Mahishasur Mardini recited by orator Birendra Krishna Bhadra. But in the Mahalaya morning of 1976, Bengal woke up to what can be called a jolt. “AIR decided to experiment and planned a special show. Uttam Kumar, was roped in to do the chandi path for us. He obliged, but the response we got was far from favourable,” says Ratna Sen, radio presenter with AIR." - Indian Express .
