==History==<br />
''Chitrahaar'' first aired in 1982.<ref name="imdb"/> In 1997, ''Chitrahaar'' went back to private producers, with ''Chitrahaar'' going to [[Amit Khanna]] of Plus Channel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/two-top-programmes-on-dd1-chitrahaar-and-rangoli-go-back-to-private-producers/1/273965.html|title=Two top programmes on DD1, Chitrahaar and Rangoli, go back to private producers}}</ref><br />
<br />
In 2010, ''Chitrahaar'' started using [[same language subtitling]] (SLS), where [[Hindi]] subtitles of the song's lyrics scroll across the screen.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131103190226/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-01-11/ahmedabad/28132818_1_spanish-film-literacy-subtitles ]</ref> The idea behind SLS is that people who are just learning to read would benefit by reading lyrics of the songs they are listening to and watching. It is an engaging way to promote literacy, especially in villages. This initiative of Doordarshan has been technically supported by the [[Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad|Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad]].<br />
