Rajgir’s ancient stories of Buddha and Mahavira will come alive on water as Bihar launches its first-ever laser light and ...

Bihar’s historic town of Rajgir is set to introduce the state’s first water-based laser light and sound show from 1 March, in a move officials hope will strengthen tourism and showcase the region’s religious and cultural heritage. The show will be staged daily at Pandu Pokhar, a historic water body in Rajgir, and will use lasers, music and fountains to project stories from the town’s ancient past onto a large water screen. According to the Bihar tourism department, the project is in its final stages, with the Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation overseeing preparations. Rajgir, which holds deep significance in both Buddhism and Jainism, is associated with the teachings of Gautama Buddha and Lord Mahavira. The new show will depict episodes from their lives alongside narratives highlighting Rajgir’s role as a centre of learning, spirituality and culture in ancient India. Officials said the water screen would serve as the focal point of the performance, allowing images of Buddha, Mahavira and historical scenes to appear as if floating on water. The presentation will combine laser projections, coloured lighting and surround sound to create what the department described as an immersive experience. The show will incorporate advanced fountain technologies, including high jets, dancing fountains, rainbow shooter jets, diamond jets and sunburst effects, alongside a musical fountain system designed to synchronise water movement with sound and light. Tourism officials expect the attraction to draw more visitors to Rajgir, particularly during evening hours, and generate economic benefits for hotels, transport services and local businesses. They described the initiative as a step towards positioning Bihar as a destination that combines heritage with modern tourism infrastructure. Rajgir has long featured prominently on Bihar’s tourism map, but authorities believe the new laser show could help transform Pandu Pokhar into one of the state’s flagship attractions, offering visitors a contemporary way to engage with centuries-old history.
