Indira Gandhi Musical Fountain on Raj Bhavan Road

What you see – Indira Gandhi Musical Fountain on Raj Bhavan Road in Bangalore is located inside an energy park maintained by the Horticulture Department and the department of Karnataka Renewable Energy. And so while you make your way towards the fountain, solar panels, a windmill and a biomass plant will catch your attention. The park uses energy generated from these non-conventional sources for powering lights in the evenings. This includes the beautiful, musical fountains with their multi-colored lighting.

What you get - The Indira Gandhi Musical Fountain in Bangalore conducts sound and light shows in the evenings. These shows feature fountains dancing to the tunes of patriotic songs, popular Bollywood numbers and a few Kannada songs. The shows start with an introduction to the fountain in Kannada followed by the national song of ‘Vande Mataram’. It ends on a spectacular note to the music of ‘Sare jahan se achha’, giving most of its viewers, goose flesh.

The musical fountain show is a perfect example of synchronization of music and technology. The flow is patterned in such an apt fashion that not a single beat of music is missed. Each rhythm is followed with the jets of water performing as efficiently if not better than trained, human dancers. And formations with colored lights are as perfect too ranging from a swaying peacock tail to showcasing a rainbow colored mist. For further visual delight, there is a projector in the backdrop that displays still images relevant to the song or music.

The Indira Gandhi Musical Fountain in Bangalore is a treat to the eyes. It’s a perfect match of nature, music and technology. It’s unusual and worth an experience. The area around the fountain is surrounded by a canopy of lush green, tall trees and has a seating capacity of over 1,000. But the best part is that all of this is powered by renewable energy resources. This could be a good learning experience for kids as well. Besides, there’s a children’s park here too.

With an entry ticket of Rs. 10 per adult, watching the sound and light show under a starry night would be the best way of entertainment in Bangalore. It could just turn out to be a pleasant musical evening with family or loved ones. You could even indulge in some night light photography. Shows are for 30 minutes each and are held at 7 PM and 8.30 PM daily. Parking space is available inside the park.
