New Delhi, August 11: Visitors to the Qutub Minar and other monuments in south Delhi’s Mehrauli area will soon be treated to a light-and-sound show.
The Delhi Development Authority and the Indian Tourism Development Corporation will sign a Memorandum of Understanding under which shows will be held as part of efforts to showcase Delhi’s rich heritage during next year’s Commonwealth Games.
DDA has identified a land near the majestic Qutub Minar, a world heritage site which is visited by at least 10,000 tourists a day, to hold such shows.
Scripted sound and light shows include narratives that help recreate the history of the particular monument.
Officials said the light-and-sound show in Mehrauli will be independent of the Archaeological Survey of India, the statutory body responsible for the conservation of protected monuments.
