Hari Om OTT, an Indian streaming platform dedicated to stories from the country’s Vedic history, has come out with ‘Chandra Dev’ or the Moon God.

This will be the first show in the ‘NavaGraha’ series, the platform said. The nava grahas are the nine celestial bodies that are believed to influence human life in Hinduism.

The new series will trace the history and journey of the nine celestial bodies and deities. Other than ‘Chandra Dev’, the platform will also roll out series titled as ‘Rahu’, ‘Ketu’, ‘Brihaspati Dev’, ‘Shukra Dev’, ‘Budh Dev’, ‘Mangal Dev’, ‘Surya Dev’ and ‘Shani Dev’. ‘Chandra Dev’ stars popular actor Piyush Sahdev in the titular role. This series is streaming now on Hari Om OTT.

‘Chandra Dev’ is celebrated in ancient lore as the second luminary of the solar family, balancing the brilliance of Surya (sun) with his tranquil, soothing glow. His life is interwoven with themes of love, devotion and redemption, making him one of the most compelling figures in Indian Vedic history, an official plt line for the series pointed out in a media statement from the streaming platform.

The show brings to life the incredible story of how Chandra Dev defeated the demon king Bali and became the world’s guardian with Brahmadev’s blessing.

Lead and titular actor Piyush Sahdev said, “I took on this role because no one had ever told the story of Chandra Dev, and I believed audiences would be curious about his life — why the lunar eclipse happens and what drives his powerful energy? Also during the shoot, I rarely spoke to anybody on the set, and remained in my zone to give an authentic portrayal. On the last day, I apologized to my co-actors for being so distant.”

Angira Vats, Head of Content at Hari Om OTT, added “We are glad to have the exceptional actor Piyush Sahdev portray the iconic role of Chandra Dev. We selected this subject because it showcases a powerful story of love, devotion, and redemption, which makes Chandra Dev one of the most significant and revered figures in Indian Vedic history. At Hari Om, we focus on bringing untold stories of our Vedic history in their most authentic and grand form.”
