Light and sound show Jaipur at Amber Fort

Steeped in rich heritage and valor, Jaipur with its pink lure serves to be a treat to the eyes and souls. In this very sumptuous platter of delightful experiences, light & sound show at Amber Fort is a bamboozling one. As the day comes to an end and sun starts glowing in mesmerizing shades, a symphony of lights illuminates the entire Amber Fort.
 

The show is an educative dose, highlighting the historical background of Jaipur, its sovereigns, monuments and ancient anecdotes associated. It took grueling efforts to prepare this magnificent 50 minutes show that takes you through a royal journey.

The eternal spirit of this royal palace comes alive with thundering music and numerous colorful flashing lights, a panoramic view with dramatic script (by Bollywood lyricist and filmmaker Gulzar) and folklore in baritone voice (Amitabh Bachchan). The show runs every day by 6:30 pm in Hindi language and by 7:30 in English.
 

Son et lumière (French pronunciation) initiated as a form of nighttime entertainment in France, where Paul Robert-Houdin, the curator of the Château de Chambord hosted the first sound and light show in 1952. Gradually, the show popularized all over the globe, and the first Asian production was held at Delhi, in 1965, at the Red Fort.
