The performers have been brought all the way from India – and they capture the very essence of some of the most well-known dance forms of India. Guests will be able to join in the fun and also experience delicious food and exciting rides based on popular Bollywood blockbusters.”

As guests walk into the park they will be greeted with an enthusiastic and high-energy performance ‘Jashan E Welcome’ showcasing the diverse music and culture of India.

The show will also encourage audience interaction.

‘South Ka Tadka’ at Rangmanch will pay tribute to the hugely popular movies and music of South India, while ‘Mehfil E Adaa’ at Rangmanch will pay tribute to women in Bollywood and showcase the elegance and ethnicity of traditional dance forms including Kathak. ‘Kalbeliya Folk Dance’ at the Lotus Court will showcase Rajasthani Folk Dance with singing and music to bring the entire performance to life.
