ABSTRACT
Digital television services in South Africa is a recent phenomenon and Zee TV, was introduced several years after it. It is a station that has its productions made in Mumbai and beams them to numerous countries in the world, especially where there are segments of the Indian Diaspora. Against the background of the Hindu pantheon, the vastness of the country and diversity of worship patterns, it would be appropriate to briefly highlight at least some aspects about Hinduism in India and the diversity that characterizes it. Ritualism in most situations in the world is always about a sense of community as well national and ideological identity when a majority population observes such rituals. But in India it first emphasizes family in the broadest possible ways, especially the extended family in the sense of it being a three generation household that is genealogically related, characterized by a paternalistic hierarchal order.
