Kalakshetra gears up for spectacular overhaul with light show, museum
1 2 3 4 5 6 Guwahati: Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra Society (SSKS) gears up for a series of cultural and infrastructural upgrades, including a light and sound show, a musical fountain, and new landmark projects such as a museum dedicated to Dr Bhupen Hazarika, a theatre experience centre, and a state-of-the-art 800-seater auditorium. Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, in a post on X on Thursday, shared a video of Kalakshetra and announced that the revamped amphitheatre and light and sound show are "coming soon". The storyline for the light and sound show is based on the life and journey of Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev -- the great Vaishnavite saint and social reformer of Assam. "The light and sound show is set to be open to the public in Oct or Nov, while the musical fountain show is scheduled for Aug or Sept," said SSKS secretary Sudarsan Thakur. The construction of a new museum based on the life and works of 'Dr Bhupen Hazarika' will start in Sept, and the new auditorium — featuring advanced acoustic technology — is expected to be inaugurated around Sept or Oct. Once completed, it will become the second largest auditorium within the Kalakshetra premises, next only to the Srimanta Sankardeva International Auditorium, which has a 1,250-seat capacity, Thakur said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Newick: If You Were Born Between 1945-1974 You Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Get Quote Undo As part of its theatre archive project, the SSKS is also developing the theatre experience centre — the first of its kind in the country — on the ground floor of the new auditorium.
