Light and sound show revives the 1857 Revolt story at Lucknow Residency
The historic Lucknow Residency, a key witness to the 1857 Revolt, is stepping into the spotlight this season with a captivating new light and sound show. Launched by the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department on October 22, the show transforms the monument’s bullet-scarred walls into a vibrant canvas, blending history with technology to bring India’s first war of independence to life.
Running daily at 6 PM, this immersive experience uses cutting-edge 3D projections, laser effects, and cinematic sound to turn the Residency into a powerful storytelling stage, bridging generations and offering a fresh perspective on the city’s storied past.
Immersive 1857 show, free for limited time
Initially free to maximise access, the show will later introduce a nominal fee. Special school visits are planned to make it an educational staple. The initiative aims to position Lucknow as a cultural tourism hub while boosting the local economy through increased footfall.
Where: The Residency, Mahatma Gandhi Mark, Lucknow
When: 6 PM onwards daily (Residency entry ticket applicable)
