The project has been conceived, financed and produced by the Ministry of Tourism and executed by India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC).

“Ishq-e-Dilli” depicts the spirit of Delhi through a lively narration of the ten cities of Delhi - the formation and resurrection of the city with its phoenix - like character. The narration begins from 11th century in the reign of Prithvi Raj Chauhan to the more recent and contemporary inclusion of the NCR and arrival of the Metro. The narration also traces the city’s connection with the mythology of Mahabharata and Indraprastha.

The close-to-real-life, state-of-the-art multimedia “Ishq-e-Dilli” is presented on a gigantic scale. It is India’s first Permanent Projection Art Installation son-et-lumiere. The Show recreates Delhi’s exciting history using cutting edge projection and laser technology with a remarkable story line – all depicted on the grand ramparts of Purana Qila. The Humayun Gate with its alcoves, parapets and stairs has been digitally mapped in such a way that projection through Christie 20K video projectors create real life images. Upon this backdrop computer graphics, laser, audio video, light and sound effects complement the narration and accentuate the ever - pulsating spirit of Delhi.

The multimedia “Ishq-e-Dilli” utilizes the technology similar to the ones being used in “Light of Liberty”, Pennsylvania, US, the “Edfu Show” at Pyramids of Gaza, Egypt.

Keeping pace with the changing times and technology in the world, the Show promises to become a major tourist attraction.
