A spectacular firework display was staged for the first time at Jaipur’s Amar Jawan Jyoti during the Diwali celebrations, featuring over 2,500 aerial shells for 15 minutes.
Jaipur’s municipal authorities launched an unprecedented firework spectacle at the historic Amar Jawan Jyoti monument as part of the city’s Diwali festivities. The sky show ran for about fifteen minutes, during which more than 2,500 aerial firecrackers were ignited, creating a continuous cascade of colour and sound over the capital’s historic centre.
The display was coordinated with a series of ice sculptures, each standing ten feet tall and depicting the Hindu deities Lakshmi, Ganesh and Saraswati. The frosty figures, crafted from solid ice, added a unique visual element and attracted large crowds gathering around the monument.
Organisers highlighted that the event marked the first time a full‑scale sky‑shot fire show had been held at Amar Jawan Jyoti, aiming to blend traditional Diwali reverence with modern pyrotechnic artistry. Security and safety teams monitored the proceedings closely, ensuring that the fireworks were launched from designated zones away from spectators.
The celebration concluded without incident, and city officials said the positive response would encourage similar large‑scale cultural programs in future festivals.
