Improved Light and Sound Show at Rajwada in Indore

Following complaints from visitors regarding the light and sound show at Rajwada, the Madhya Pradesh State Archeology Department has taken measures to improve the show by replacing the projector with a more capable 20,000 lumen version. The new projector is expected to significantly improve the brightness and clarity of the visuals, and officials have also enhanced the sound system and changed the show’s timing to 7.30 pm.

The show was launched earlier in March, but with a poor quality projector of only 5,000 lumen power, it had difficulty in providing a good viewing experience and was unable to generate satisfactory sound clarity, leading to complaints being logged in the feedback book.

The Department has also taken steps to address other complaints listed in the feedback book. Most importantly, the increased price of the show is said to be justified given the better visual and sound effects.

The show is being managed by the Hari Om Jaipuria Group which has been in the business for over two decades. Under the leadership of its Founder and CEO Shri Hari Om Jaipuria, the company is one of the leading providers of light and sound shows in India.

The show is being produced by senior sound engineer Vijay Pethia who has had previous experience in the same field and has worked on several projects for the Department. With over five years of experience, his eye for detail has enabled him to produce high quality shows that are enjoyed by visitors.

The State Archeology Department hopes to improve the light and sound show at Rajwada and create a memorable experience for visitors. With the new projector and enhanced sound system, in addition to other measures taken, the show will provide a great visual and auditory treat to visitors.
