CWG 2010 Closing Ceremony
live
A magnificent laser show
lit up the sky today evening during the 2010 Commonwealth Games closing
ceremony, mesmerising spectators, sitting inside the packed to capacity
Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Delhi.
The show mesmerised and
dazzled the spectators here at the stadia with dancing lights and formation
of various designs.
Presented at the end
of the closing ceremony to make it an unforgettable experience for people
around the world, the splendid laser show looked simply brilliant to overwhelm
all watching.
The laser show coupled
with spectacular fireworks were part of the grand finale.
The laser equipment was
imported from Europe to create special effects like sea waves and graphics
with beams to light up the sky.
About 40 smoke machines,
10 full-colour laser systems and 40 blowers were used for the presentation
at today's ceremony.
Elated by the success
of opening ceremony, the organiser of the closing ceremony had made a last-minute
change for the event with a hope to make it one of the most spectacular
shows ever held in India.
The German firm tarm
Showlaser GmbH that had performed at the closing ceremony of FIFA World
Cup, winter Olympics at Vancouver and Athens 2004 Olympics, was roped in
for an eight-minute laser event.
The company claims to
be the world leader in the field of innovative laser presentations since
1988.
Tarm Showlaser's Managing
director Ralf Lottig, who came to India on Monday, had promised that his
team would put up a show never seen before in India and admitted that the
expectation from their show was actually very high.
"We were asked to come
to India last week only," he told an English daily recently.
According to the organisers,
the laser show has cost around Rs.1.5 crore.
