Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Mega Challenge
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Mega Challenge was a special installment of the popular Indian Sa Re Ga Ma Pa vocal contest shown
on Zee TV. This show was a seven-week-long competition among eight teams representing eight different states and
consisting of total 24 talented contestants from past seasons of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa. Two teams were competing against each
other each week starting October 30, 2009, to head towards the finales. The show was made to celebrate the 1000th
episode of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, and the Grand Finale on Dec 12, 2009 marked the 1000th episode of this great singing
competition - a historic moment for any show on Indian television. Notable Indian singers and musicians were selected for
each of the episodes to make the decisions as the judges.

The final was between West Bengal (Abhijit Ghoshal, Keka Ghoshal and Sanchita Bhattacharya) and Maharashtra
(Vaishali Made, Kaushik Deshpande and Rohit Raut) where the latter team was declared as a winner. Sonu Nigam, Suresh
