“During the unveiling programme, a description of Lord Krishna’s journey from ‘Viraat Roop’ and ‘Vishwaroop’ was depicted through an incredible light and sound show. Notably, under the first phase of the renovation of Jyotisar, the first site of the Krishna Circuit project, the statue of Lord Krishna’s Viraat Swaroop has been unveiled today,” a government spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added that “a world-class Jyotisar Anubhav Kendra” will be set up at Jyotisar, most likely in the next year. “The centre will be divided into five buildings. In the first building, information about the events before the war of Mahabharata will be made available,” the spokesperson said.

“With 18 mirrors in the next building, visitors will be able to see the events that happened in 18 days of war (Mahabharata). Besides this, the visitors can also seek solutions to their problems written in Gita from the interactive pod. In the fifth building, information about the post-war events, like the coronation of Yudhishthira etc. will be made available. This centre will become a centre of attraction for visitors coming from across the globe,” the spokesperson added.
