Project Overview
We were entrusted with the conceptualization, design, supply, installation, operation, maintenance, and dismantling of the temporary thematic illumination for Ekta Prakash Parv 2025 at the Statue of Unity, Ekta Nagar, Gujarat, organized to commemorate Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (Unity Day 2025).
The project transformed key public areas into a vibrant and immersive illuminated experience through artistic lighting installations inspired by the spirit of national unity and cultural heritage. The scope included decorative road ceiling illumination, illuminated tunnel structures, thematic fabricated installations, roadside illuminated props, and synchronized architectural lighting that enhanced the visitor journey across the event venue.
The project gained widespread appreciation from visitors and dignitaries. During the celebrations, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, along with several Union Ministers, State Ministers, senior government officials, and other VVIP and VIP delegates from across India, visited the venue and experienced the illuminated landscape, making the project one of the most prestigious temporary lighting installations executed by Montu Electric Works.
What did the client want to achieve?
The client envisioned creating an iconic and memorable illuminated environment for Ekta Prakash Parv 2025 that reflected the ideals of national unity while enhancing the visitor experience at the Statue of Unity during Rashtriya Ekta Diwas.
The objective was to transform the event venue into a visually captivating destination through innovative temporary illumination, encouraging public engagement, tourism, and national pride. The lighting was expected to complement the grandeur of the Statue of Unity while providing an immersive experience for thousands of visitors arriving from across India.
The client also required a solution that could be executed within a strict timeline, operate reliably throughout the event, comply with all electrical and public safety standards, and withstand continuous outdoor operation. Since the event was attended by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, senior government officials, VVIPs, VIPs, and a large number of visitors, flawless execution, operational reliability, and aesthetic excellence were key expectations.
Scope of work your company was involved in
We were responsible for the complete execution of the temporary thematic illumination project on a turnkey basis.
Our scope included concept development, lighting design, engineering, fabrication of decorative structures, procurement of lighting equipment, electrical infrastructure, installation, testing, commissioning, operation during the event period, maintenance, technical support, and complete dismantling after the event.
The project featured illuminated road ceiling installations, decorative lighting tunnels created using fabricated structural frames, themed roadside illuminated props, artistic lighting elements, power distribution systems, cabling, control panels, and integrated lighting arrangements across designated visitor routes.
The team ensured seamless coordination with the client, local authorities, security agencies, and event management teams to execute the project without disrupting public movement. All installations were designed for structural stability, electrical safety, weather resistance, and ease of maintenance.
The project was delivered within the stipulated timeline while maintaining high-quality workmanship, operational reliability, and an exceptional visual experience throughout the celebration.
What key challenges were faced?
The project involved several technical and operational challenges.
The primary challenge was executing a large-scale temporary illumination project within a limited execution period while ensuring zero compromise on quality and safety. Since the venue receives a significant number of tourists daily, installation activities had to be carefully planned to minimize disruption to visitor movement.
Another major challenge was coordinating multiple work fronts simultaneously, including fabrication, transportation, installation, electrical distribution, and testing. The installations also had to withstand continuous outdoor exposure, varying weather conditions, and long operational hours.
As the event was attended by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, senior government officials, and numerous VVIPs and VIPs, every installation had to meet stringent safety, operational, and aesthetic standards. There was no margin for technical failure or delays.
Managing logistics, ensuring uninterrupted power supply, maintaining synchronization among various illuminated elements, and completing all works before the inauguration required meticulous planning and continuous coordination between engineering, fabrication, logistics, and site execution teams.
How were those challenges resolved?
We addressed these challenges through detailed planning, experienced project management, and round-the-clock execution.
A dedicated project team prepared detailed execution schedules, material planning, and installation sequences well in advance. Fabrication and procurement activities were carried out in parallel to reduce overall project duration. Multiple installation teams worked simultaneously across different locations to ensure timely completion.
Comprehensive quality inspections and electrical safety checks were conducted at every stage of installation. Robust structural supports, weather-resistant materials, and reliable LED lighting systems were used to ensure uninterrupted operation throughout the event.
The project team maintained close coordination with the client, local administration, security agencies, and other stakeholders to facilitate smooth site access and timely approvals. Continuous monitoring during the event enabled immediate response to any operational requirements.
Through disciplined execution, proactive coordination, and technical expertise, the project was completed successfully before schedule and operated flawlessly throughout the celebration, receiving appreciation from visitors and dignitaries alike.
How has your work helped the client?
The project significantly enhanced the visual identity and visitor experience of Ekta Prakash Parv 2025. The thematic illumination transformed the event venue into an attractive celebration space that reflected the spirit of Rashtriya Ekta Diwas and highlighted the national importance of the Statue of Unity.
The illuminated roads, tunnels, and thematic installations encouraged greater visitor engagement and created numerous photo opportunities, increasing public interaction throughout the venue. The lighting successfully complemented the grandeur of the monument while creating a memorable experience for tourists, government officials, and invited guests.
The flawless execution and uninterrupted operation ensured the event proceeded without technical issues despite the presence of the Hon’ble Prime Minister, senior government officials, VVIPs, VIPs, and thousands of visitors.
The project strengthened the client’s reputation for organizing world-class public celebrations and demonstrated how innovative temporary illumination can elevate the ambience of national events.
