The program starts with a short prelude, a tribute to Jai Singh, followed by a sound and music evocation of the the Hindu epic Bhagavad-Gîtâ. Some extracts of this narration relating fragments of the tale through a “sound fresco” will be included in the musical score in English and in Hindi.

On some instruments, light played with variable intensity creates different rhythms in counterpoint of the musical score.
