For the first time, such a grand festival of lights was seen in the capital Delhi.
In the evening, the ghats of Yamuna were lit up with a series of lamps, presenting a wonderful sight. Drone and laser shows were also organised, which made the festival of lights even more attractive. Through the drone show, beautiful scenes were presented in the sky through colorful lights and shapes, in which the audience felt the glimpse of Indian culture. Symbols of Lord Birsa Munda, Guru Nanak Dev and Lord Ram were depicted through drones, which touched the hearts of the devotees.
