Katha Sagar (translation:"A Sea of Stories") is an Indian television series that aired on DD National in 1986. The series featured a collection of stories by writers from around the world, including Katherine Mansfield, Guy de Maupassant, Leo Tolstoy, O. Henry, and Anton Chekhov.[2] Each episode was directed by one of eight well known Indian directors, including Shyam Benegal, Kundan Shah, Ved Rahi and Satyen Bose. Most of the stories in the series were one episode long.[3]
Many years after its original run,[when?] the series was again produced by Prem Krishen Malhotra and Sunil Mehta, founders of Cinevista Communications Limited.[2]
The series included 37 episodes based on stories including "Fear" by Guy de Maupassant, "The Overcoat" by Nikolai Gogol, "A Cup of Tea" by Katherine Mansfield, and "Where Love Is, God Is" by Leo Tolstoy. Some of the stories were adapted to fit an Indian context, but the adaptation embodied the essence of the original story.
