India, especially Delhi, has faced several challenges from the time Red Fort was built in 1648. The bravery of patriotic Indians fighting attackers from Western Asia, and the British, is a glorious saga and Jai Hind, the all-new Sound & Light Show at Red Fort, Delhi, is a dramatic presentation of that. Jai Hind brings the history of India from the 17th century to present day to life using all forms of performance art - projection mapping, live-action films, light, immersive sound, actors, dancers, and puppets. It brings to life key episodes from India’s history including the tussle for power between Dara Shikoh and Aurangzeb, the plunder of Red Fort and Shajahanabad by Nader Shah, the rise of the Marathas and their control of Red Fort, the 1857 War of Independence, the rise of the Indian National Army and the INA trials, the fight for Independence and India’s continuing progress over the past 75 years.

Each Jai Hind show is of about 60 mins duration. The show is a walk-through experience divided into three parts. Guests stand in front of Naubat Khana to watch the short 6-7 min intro, then walk to Diwan-e-Aam for another 5-6 min act, and then on to Diwan-e-Khaas to their seats to watch the final part which is around 40 mins in length.

Guests can choose between three types of seats based on their preference. Regular seats cost Rs 500, premium seats are for Rs 1,500 (front row) & Rs 1,000.
