As a ray of colour lights up the night sky at Valankulam Lake, a video plays on the giant water screen that traces the rich heritage of Coimbatore. The event, Symphony by the Lake, a laser sound and light show on a water screen, a first for Coimbatore, is part of the ongoing Coimbatore Vizha celebrations.
At the show, water is pumped from the lake shaped like an arc, which is nearly 10 metres above the lake surface and 30 metres wide to project the multi-layered laser lights, rotating head beams, and LED lights, with music in the background. “A kaleidoscope of colours in different shapes and music comes together spectacularly for an entertaining evening,” says Ashwin Manohar from the vizha team. He is in-charge of the laser show.
