New Delhi:
Aiming at showcasing India's cultural heritage, a first of its
kind 'walk-in show' will unfold at Red Fort for visitors during
the Commonwealth Games.
Conceived and prepared by Aamir Reza Hussain, the one-hour show
will include multi-media and water projections.
"The light and sound show going on at the Red Fort for more than
30 years has been discontinued now. The new show with more songs
and music will be kicking off from the first week of October,"
said a Tourism Ministry official.
Unlike the earlier light and sound show before the Diwan-e-Khas,
the new event is a "walk-in show" which begins from the Nahabat
Khana, the entry point of the Fort itself.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
