Oprah Travels to India For The First Time Part 2

In Media, News / 1 comment

Pin It

Part 2 of Oprah’s Next Chapter aired on Sunday, April 29, 2012, showing a more relaxed, perhaps more well rested Oprah, as she expanded her reach into the country’s mysteries and wonders. She and her camera crew first focused on Vrindavan, better known as “The City of Widows” before heading south for a stop at the magical Taj Mahal. All the pageantry of Indian royalty was on display for Oprah’s visit to Jaipur, a short but regal segment that showed her time spent at City Palace, glossing over any mention of her attendance at this year’s Jaipur Literature Festival.

Watch video highlights of the second part of Oprah’s travels to India below or videos from part 1 here.

An Indian Woman’s Fight for Widows

In India, some women are left homeless and penniless after their husbands die. Go inside a shelter run by Dr. V. Mohini Giri’s Guild For Service, which provides safe haven, job training and dignity to more than 100 displaced women. Plus, find out why Oprah says Dr. Giri’s spirit is a reflection of Mother Teresa.

Oprah Visits the Taj Mahal

Oprah first studied this world wonder as a child in school. Now, she’s finally seeing India’s Taj Mahal in person. Watch as Oprah visits the palace and learn why this is a monument to true love.

Oprah’s Royal Indian Send-Off

On the last leg of her journey through India, the royal family of Jaipur sends Oprah off in style with a palace party, complete with bejeweled camels, horse-drawn carriages and painted elephants. Watch as Oprah dines with the queen of Jaipur, Her Highness Maharani Padmini Devi, and shares why the party was her favorite moment in India.

Exclusive Webisode: Inside an Indian Call Center

If you’ve ever dialed customer service for an airline, phone company or credit card service, chances are the person on the other end of the line is halfway around the world in India. Call centers are a booming business, employing about 350,000 people—about half women—across the country. Get a rare glimpse inside one of Mumbai’s dozens of call centers.

    Vrndavana is the town where Lord Krsna grew up and is more often referred to as the Tulsi forest (Vrnda- tulsi devi / occicum sanctum / holy basil sacred to Vaishnava Hindus)and Vana which means forest in Sanskrit. Widows come here as they get shelter in places like Amar Bari. Oprah came to our temple – Krsna Balaram temple / ISKCON Vrndavan, would have been nice to see footage of that :(
