Mumbai: After inaugurating Dhirubhai Ambani Square with nearly 2,000 underprivileged children on 6 March to dedicate it to all Mumbaikars, Mukesh and Nita Ambani will organise two special musical fountain shows for nearly 7,000 members of Indias armed forces, police and their families tomorrow, 12 March, as a mark of their respect for the security forces and to seek their blessings for the wedding of their son Akash with Shloka.
The musical fountain cum dance show to be organised for the armed forces integrates the mesmerising and colourful movements of the water fountain with a spectacular dance performance on stage and an aerial dance act right above the stage and the water fountain. In many ways, the show signifies the lyrical symmetry between water, earth and sky. Set on the devotional and ancient theme of Raas Lila of Krishna, Radha and the Gopikas of Vrindavan, the presentation will see a collaboration of more than 150 Indian and International artistes.
This special performance, a key highlight of Akash and Shloka’s wedding festivities, will be held at the Dhirubhai Ambani Square, the gateway to the globally-benchmarked Jio World Centre at BKC, Mumbai. The Dhirubhai Ambani Square will serve as a large gathering space, open to the Mumbaikars for dynamic interpretation of culture and live events and houses a spectacular water fountain with its 600 LED lights, mist emitters, fire effects and 392 water nozzles that shoot water up to a height of 45 feet.
Speaking at the occasion, Nita Ambani said, “We are delighted to share our joy and receive the blessings of our security forces who keep this country safe and make us proud everyday. The special musical fountain programme at the Dhirubhai Ambani Square is a dedication to the vibrant spirit of Mumbai and we look forward sharing this experience with members of our forces and their families.”
The Dhirubhai Ambani Square is part of Jio World Centre, a world-class, multi-use facility, which is a shared goal of Reliance Industries Ltd and MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority) to create the largest and best global convention facilities and services in India.
