The author analyses three televised shows that captured the community's imagination and became ceremonial and religious engagement. Through these case studies, he highlights how rituals and myths function in mass media, how traditional institutions and religious practices redefine themselves through their association with the visual mass medium, and how identities based on religion, cultural tradition, and politics are reinforced, transformed, and amplified through television.

All that everyone seeks in life is happiness It is the sole purpose of existence and it’s what drives us in all that we pursue, achievements, wealth, professional or business success, love, relationships, a comfort-filled home, a happy family, or even in relatively smaller things such as a vacation, shopping, movie or a dinner outing.
