A Jewel in Hyderabad’s Tourist Attractions
Hyderabad, known for its rich heritage and vibrant culture, has always been a magnet for tourists. With the introduction of “The Kohinoor Story” at Sanjeevaiah Park, the city adds another gem to its treasure trove of tourist attractions. This innovative show not only showcases the captivating tale of the legendary Kohinoor diamond but also celebrates the cultural heritage of Telangana and India as a whole.
The Genesis of Kohinoor: From Soil to Splendor
The narrative of “The Kohinoor Story” begins with the origins of the Kohinoor diamond, which was unearthed from the fertile soils of Telangana. This iconic gemstone has traversed through diverse cultures and continents, leaving an indelible mark on history. Despite its significance, the story of Kohinoor has often remained shrouded in mystery. Through this project, spearheaded by Shri. G. Kishan Reddy, the veil is lifted, and the timeless saga of the Kohinoor comes to life.
A Technological Marvel on Hussain Sagar
While light and sound shows are not uncommon across India, what sets “The Kohinoor Story” apart is its innovative approach. Unlike traditional shows held at historical sites, this spectacle unfolds on the shimmering waters of Hussain Sagar, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle. Utilizing cutting-edge laser technology, the show employs a water screen and musical fountain to immerse the audience in an enchanting audio-visual experience.
Crafting an Immersive Journey
The success of “The Kohinoor Story” lies in its meticulous attention to detail. The script, penned by Shri SS Kanchi under the guidance of Shri S. Vijayendra Prasad, MP Rajya Sabha, weaves together historical narratives with artistic flair. Accompanied by a captivating musical score composed by Shri Vandemataram Srinivas and soulful narration by Smt. Sunita, the show transports viewers through time, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of India’s past.
Cutting-Edge Technology at Work
Behind the scenes, “The Kohinoor Story” employs state-of-the-art technology to deliver a seamless performance. With over 1000 robotic nozzles and an advanced underwater lighting system, the show dazzles spectators with dynamic colour changes and vibrant visuals. Three 40W RGB lasers enhance the spectacle, while high-definition projectors ensure crystal-clear projections on the aqua screen.
Creating an Engaging Environment
To enhance the audience experience, a dedicated viewing gallery with a capacity of 800-1000 guests has been constructed, offering panoramic views of Sanjeevaiah Park and the multimedia show. Additionally, a rooftop restaurant provides visitors with the perfect vantage point to admire the beauty of the surroundings while enjoying delectable cuisine.
