The eventful history of Delhi has been witness to a change of many dynasties, which is brought out at a sound and light show every evening on the ramparts of the Red Fort.

For those desirous of delving into Delhi's glorious and tumultuous past, Delhi Tourism puts on a spectacular sound and light show at the Red Fort bringing 5,000 years old history of the city come alive. Special effects combine with the unique ambience to make this show a hauntingly unforgettable experience. The eternal Jamuna bears witness to the glorious and tumultuous history of Delhi.

It throws light on history, which begins with the creation of Indraprastha by the Pandavas and the transformation of this barren gift of the Kauravas into an idyllic haven.

The show unfolds the history of Delhi, where one is transported centuries back in time to witness Draupadi being reduced to a dasi of Hastinapur, the gallant Prithviraj Chauhan galloping away with Samyogita, Sher Shah Suri being blown to bits by a misfired cannon, the legendary Razia Sultan, Humanyun tragically tumbling down the steps of his library, Bahadur Shah Zafar surrendering to the British. This is the story of the city of cities - Delhi; where a great empire rose and fell before the dawn of history; citadels of emperors appeared and disappeared. But, combined and integrated into one, these new cities have always been called Delhi and it has always been intrinsically identified with power and imperial sway.

These and many more such episodes out of Delhi’s old saga can be relived during this evocative 62 minutes son et lumiere. Advanced technology has made it possible to add special effects, combining with the unique ambiance to make this show a hauntingly unforgettable experience.

The light and sound show Son-et-Lumiere is a major attraction of the Red Fort and recreates Indian history which is popularly linked with it starting from the Mughal era till independence. The Sound and Light Show is of one hour duration presented both in Hindi and English.
