75 Illuminated Boats to Create Grand Visual Display
Ahmedabad: The iconic Sabarmati Riverfront is set to transform into a magnificent visual spectacle on December 7 as the city hosts the Pramukh Varni Amrut Mahotsav, a large-scale cultural and spiritual celebration expected to draw thousands of visitors.
As part of the festivities, 75 boats on the Sabarmati River will be decorated with special lighting installations, creating a radiant display that will illuminate the river stretch and offer a unique nighttime viewing experience. The coordinated lighting effects are designed to symbolize peace, devotion, and the spiritual vibrance associated with the occasion.
The Pramukh Varni Amrut Mahotsav will bring together devotees, cultural performers, and visitors for a series of spiritual events, devotional music, and traditional performances along the riverfront. The lighting of the 75 boats has been planned as one of the key attractions of the Mahotsav, enhancing the festive atmosphere and providing a memorable riverfront experience.
City officials and event organizers have announced additional arrangements such as viewing zones, crowd-management systems, and special illumination on nearby riverfront structures to ensure the celebration runs smoothly.
The decision to illuminate 75 boats carries symbolic importance, marking a milestone year in the Pramukh Varni celebrations. Each boat will feature synchronized lighting effects, adding a rhythmic dimension to the river’s reflection and creating a panoramic view for spectators gathered on both banks.
The Sabarmati Riverfront, already a major urban attraction, is expected to see a surge in visitors during the Mahotsav. Dedicated volunteers and security teams will be stationed across the venue, while special arrangements for seating, public facilities, and emergency services have also been put in place.
The event is anticipated to boost evening tourism on the riverfront and highlight Ahmedabad’s growing reputation for hosting grand cultural and spiritual festivals on a public scale.
