Mumbai: On the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami, Maharashtra's cultural department organised a 2,000-drone show at Mumbai's iconic Azad Maidan. The large-scale drone display illuminated the night sky with stunning formations celebrating Maharashtra’s rich culture, history and traditions. This was Maharashtra's First-Ever 2000 Drone Show.
The drone show depicted Lord Shri Ram holding a bow and arrow in a ready-to-aim pose, accompanied by background score and voiceover. The aerial show also featured Lord Ganesha, Sant Dnyaneshwar and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Among political leaders displayed in the drone show were CM Devendra Fadnavis, Dy CM Eknath Shinde, Dy CM Sunetra Pawar, and Minister Ashish Shelar.
The visual spectacle was experienced by a sea of Mumbaikars. Those who missed this first-of-its-kind display can visit on the second day, 27 March, from 7 pm onwards.
