Light & Sound Show
In fact, the sound-and-light laser show at Maya Sarovar is a project of the tourism department that was announced in 2011. Some technical reasons pushed back the original 2013 deadline.
BNA Technology has now started demonstration shows on the initiative of the tourism department. Ajay Kashyap, an official of the tourism department in Bodhgaya, confirmed that the show is being organised at Maya Sarovar in the evening.
"The show would run for 45 minutes during which the life history of Buddha would be shown in animated form on a water screen. The replica of the World Heritage Mahabodhi Mahavihara would be created on the water screen with the water fountain," Kashyap said, elaborating on the show.
The sound-and-light laser show with musical fountain would be operated with the help of a laser machine, a computer and a projector. A water screen of semi-circular shape is formed with the help of water fountains of different colours that go up to a height of 25ft in the air. The animation film would be screened on the water screen with the help of the computer and the projector. The story would be narrated from the background through four big sound boxes.
Watch the show describing the life history of Buddha on water screen in 45 minutes is a very good effort. A large number of foreign tourists visit Bodhgaya throughout the year and they would certainly like it."The demonstration show at Maya Sarovar is yet to be formally inaugurated. But it is being run every evening from 6pm to 6.45
