Extensive on-site commissioning and iterative calibration ensured stable synchronization, consistent image quality, and reliable long-term system performance.

What key challenges were faced?

The temple façade presented considerable engineering complexity due to its highly articulated architectural composition. Multiple projecting surfaces, deep recesses, sculptural details, ornamental carvings, and varying surface depths created a projection environment where conventional façade mapping techniques could not deliver accurate results.

Maintaining image continuity across these irregular surfaces required exceptional positional accuracy while preserving the building’s architectural character rather than masking it.

The installation also needed to present two distinct narratives using the same projection surface without compromising visual identity, content quality, or presentation consistency.

As a permanent installation within a religious environment, the project further demanded dependable day-to-day operation, simplified maintenance, a weather-resistant solution, stable multimedia synchronization, and consistent visitor experience across repeated presentations.

How were those challenges resolved?

Knownsense Studios adopted a digital-first engineering methodology centred around accurate architectural reconstruction before content production commenced. The temple façade was documented using approximately 20,000 high-resolution photographs, enabling the creation of a detailed photogrammetric model that accurately represented the geometry of the structure. This digital replica became the reference for projection planning, content development, and calibration workflows.

Projection systems were positioned to maximize coverage while minimizing geometric distortion. Individual outputs were independently corrected, blended, and colour-balanced before being combined into a seamless presentation across the architecture.

Visual content was designed specifically around the architectural geometry, allowing important narrative elements to remain clearly visible despite changes in surface depth and ornamentation. The synchronized playback environment ensured accurate coordination between projection, narration, music, and environmental sound, while extensive onsite testing refined alignment and overall system performance prior to commissioning.

Project Overview

The Lucknow Vidhan Bhavan Projection Mapping Show is a permanent multimedia installation that transforms the iconic central dome of the Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Bhavan into an immersive storytelling medium. Developed by Bharat Radio Centre Projects in association with Knownsense Studios, the installation combines architectural projection mapping, synchronized multimedia, intelligent lighting, and spatial audio to present the history of Lucknow alongside the democratic legacy of the Uttar Pradesh Legislature.

Designed for one of India’s most recognizable institutional landmarks, the project integrates multiple AV technologies into a unified show-control ecosystem capable of delivering consistent large-format experiences in an outdoor environment. Projection mapping is complemented by synchronized moving-head beam effects that extend the visual narrative beyond the architecture.

The installation was inaugurated during the 86th All India Presiding Officers’ Conference in January 2026. The project represents a sophisticated exercise in systems integration, requiring accurate digital documentation of the monument, precision calibration of multiple projection systems, intelligent lighting synchronization, and reliable multimedia playback.

What did the client want to achieve?

The client envisioned a permanent night-time attraction that would communicate the historical, architectural, and democratic significance of the Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Bhavan through an engaging contemporary medium. The historical importance of the structure demanded that content be handled with dignity and utmost care.

The experience was intended to strengthen public engagement by presenting the evolution of Lucknow alongside the role of the Legislature in an accessible visual format suitable for citizens, dignitaries, and visiting delegations.

From a technical standpoint, the solution was expected to accurately transform the three-dimensional dome into a projection surface while integrating synchronized lighting, audio, and visual systems into a reliable permanent installation. The client also required the system to operate without affecting the heritage character of the building, maintain consistent performance during outdoor operation, and support repeated public presentations with minimal maintenance and operational complexity.

Scope of work your company was involved in

We partnered with content partner to execute the complete technical design, content, systems integration, and multimedia implementation for the installation.

The scope included architectural documentation, photogrammetric data acquisition, 3D modelling, projection engineering, content integration, multimedia programming, intelligent lighting integration, projector installation, geometric calibration, show-control programming, synchronized audio integration, testing, commissioning, and on-site technical support.

A comprehensive digital model of the dome was generated through photogrammetric processing, enabling accurate mapping of its architectural geometry. This digital replica formed the basis for templates, calibration, and content alignment.

The AV infrastructure incorporated eight high-brightness Christie projection systems positioned across multiple locations to optimize coverage of the dome while minimizing projection distortion. Intelligent moving-head fixtures were integrated with synchronized multimedia playback.

The project also included multi-projector edge blending, colour matching, geometric correction, brightness balancing, projection alignment, playback optimization, and final system tuning.

What key challenges were faced?

The defining challenge of the project was the geometry of the Vidhan Bhavan dome. Unlike conventional architectural façades, the continuously curving surface changes orientation in every direction, making accurate projection alignment significantly more complex.

The architectural detailing further increased complexity. Sculptural elements, ornamental stonework, recessed surfaces, and varying depths created irregular projection planes that could introduce distortion, brightness variation, and shadowing if not carefully addressed.

The installation also demanded seamless visual continuity across multiple overlapping projection fields despite differing projection angles and long throw distances. Achieving a unified image without visible seams or colour inconsistencies required extremely high calibration accuracy.

Integrating intelligent lighting introduced another layer of complexity. Beam choreography had to remain synchronized with projection content and soundtrack while complementing the mapped visuals rather than competing with them.

As the installation was designed for permanent outdoor operation, environmental conditions, ambient lighting, and long-duration system stability also had to be considered.

How were those challenges resolved?

We adopted a digital-first engineering workflow to ensure precise alignment across the monument’s complex architecture. The dome was digitally reconstructed using photogrammetric techniques, allowing the team to develop an accurate three-dimensional model that replicated every visible architectural feature. This digital environment enabled projection layouts and visual content to be designed directly around the structure rather than adapted to it.

The projection system was distributed strategically around the site to minimize extreme projection angles and maximize surface coverage. Each projection channel underwent independent geometric correction, masking, colour calibration, and brightness optimization before being blended into a single seamless image.

Projection content was developed with perspective compensation, allowing visuals to appear geometrically accurate from the primary audience viewing area despite the dome’s curvature.

Lighting integration was programmed through time-coded synchronization, ensuring beam movements, colour transitions, and multimedia playback operated as a unified system.

Extensive onsite commissioning included multiple rounds of alignment, brightness balancing, playback optimization, and environmental testing.

How has your work helped the client?

The installation has provided the Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Bhavan with a permanent digital platform that communicates the institution’s heritage, democratic values, and architectural significance through an immersive public experience.

The project successfully transformed an iconic civic landmark into an engaging destination capable of attracting both official delegations and the general public while preserving the architectural identity of the building. By presenting institutional history through large-format visual storytelling, the installation makes democratic heritage more accessible to wider audiences.

From an operational perspective, the integrated system delivers reliable long-term performance suitable for repeated public presentations, reducing operational complexity while maintaining consistent visual quality. The installation also establishes a scalable framework for future multimedia programming without requiring changes to the core AV infrastructure.

Beyond its immediate public engagement value, the project demonstrates how advanced systems integration can activate historically significant architecture without physical intervention, offering a model for technology-led interpretation of heritage and institutional spaces across India.

What are you most proud of about the project?

We are most proud of transforming one of India’s most prominent democratic landmarks into a precision-engineered immersive experience while preserving its architectural integrity.

The project required the successful integration of architectural modelling, multi-projector visualization, intelligent lighting, synchronized multimedia, and outdoor AV engineering into a single cohesive installation capable of reliable long-term operation.

Particular pride lies in achieving seamless visual continuity across the monument’s complex curved dome, where accurate projection demanded engineering precision rather than conventional façade mapping techniques.

The installation demonstrates how heritage architecture and advanced AV technology can coexist through thoughtful systems integration, creating a permanent public experience that strengthens engagement with democratic institutions while setting a benchmark for projection-based civic storytelling.

Project Overview

The Konark Light and Sound Show renewed an ageing installation while protecting this UNESCO World Heritage precinct, under ASI protocols.

Earlier, audiences sat in the temple’s core garden, with conspicuous projector masts lining the pathway and a visible control room.

Seating moved to an elevated, non-intrusive zone, containing audio within the audience area to safeguard the monument while delivering 5.1 surround. Eight 30,000 lumen, three chip DLP laser projectors were consolidated within an integrated, camouflaged, double storied facility outside the archaeological zone.

Relocation created an exceptional optical challenge. Content authored for the old PoV, projector positions, lenses, throws and blends had to fit an entirely new configuration. Through simulation and pixel-level correction, each frame was translated into the new optical geometry. Perspective correction, warping, edge blending and colour calibration preserved the composition while resolving eight outputs into one seamless canvas. To our knowledge, this feat has no precedent in a comparable heritage projection upgrade.

Climate control protects systems from salt, humidity, monsoon rain and wildlife. The technology remains almost invisible by day… yet brings Konark magnificently alive after sunset.

What did the client want to achieve?

The client sought to transform an ageing installation into a contemporary, reliable and immersive visitor experience while preserving the sanctity of an ASI-protected UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A key objective was to remove intrusive projector masts and visible control infrastructure. With the audience relocated to an elevated viewing area, the system had to provide unobstructed views of the Sun Temple and mandapam while remaining virtually invisible by day.

The established content was to be retained, but presented with improved brightness, resolution, colour fidelity, geometric accuracy and audiovisual impact. The client also required intelligible, immersive audio across Konark’s windswept outdoor environment.

Above all, the installation had to balance technological advancement with heritage sensitivity. It needed to withstand salt-laden air, humidity, monsoon rain, heat, lightning and wildlife while remaining safe, maintainable and dependable for long-term operation.

Scope of work your company was involved in

We were the turnkey integrator for redesign, supply, installation, programming, calibration, testing and commissioning of the projection, media control and outdoor audio systems.

The scope began with site surveys, legacy system evaluation and simulation of revised viewing geometry. Axis engineered projector positions, throw distances, lens selection, optical alignment, signal routing, power and environmental protection.

Eight 30,000 ISO lumen, three chip DLP laser projectors were integrated with a server grade media platform supporting synchronised playback and 4K output per channel. Existing content was remapped through perspective correction, warping, edge blending, colour calibration and luminance balancing across the Sun Temple and the Mandapam.

We created a camouflaged, double storeyed facility with the control room below and projector array above, incorporating climate control, insulation and moisture protection. Fibre distribution, networking, show control, UPS, cabling, surge protection, earthing and lightning protection were integrated.

We also engineered and aligned the multichannel audio system. Final responsibilities covered audiovisual synchronisation, optimisation, documentation, operator support and comprehensive maintenance.

What key challenges were faced?

Integrating technology at an ASI-protected UNESCO World Heritage Site allowed no drilling, anchoring or attachment to the monument. Every element had to be sensitively integrated within the protected archaeological zone, remaining structurally independent, non-invasive and visually recessive within the landscape.

Relocating the audience and eight projectors created an optical challenge without known precedent in a comparable heritage upgrade. Content authored for one PoV, projector positions, lenses, throws and overlaps had to be translated pixel by pixel into an entirely different configuration. Optical offsets, incidence angles, parallax, pixel density and every blend zone changed, while the temple and mandapam remained fixed. Perspective had to survive without keystone distortion, pixel elongation, brightness loss or visible blends.

Coastal salt, humidity, heat, monsoon rain, condensation and wildlife threatened equipment and signals.

Installation continued through waterlogging and electrical storms under a compressed schedule. A lightning strike on a nearby tree underlined the danger.

Finally, multichannel audio across a windswept area required control of dispersion, delay, phase and low frequency consistency without intruding upon heritage sightlines.

How were those challenges resolved?

Heritage constraints were resolved through self-supporting audiovisual architecture integrated within the protected zone, with nothing attached to the monument.

Projectors, control and services were consolidated in a camouflaged, double-storeyed facility. The control room occupied the lower level and eight projectors the upper, eliminating intrusive masts.

Simulations recalculated throw ratios, lenses, incidence angles, parallax and overlaps. Content authored for the earlier PoV and optical stack was translated pixel by pixel into the new projector, lens and throw configuration. Perspective correction, warping, masking, edge blending, colour calibration and luminance balancing restored composition while minimising distortion and pixel elongation. To our knowledge, this has no precedent in a comparable heritage upgrade.

A sealed, climate-controlled level managed heat, moisture, salt, condensation and wildlife. Fibre distribution, UPS, earthing, surge suppression and lightning protection strengthened resilience.

Work followed weather windows, with off-site prefabrication reducing site activity. Strategic planting concealed speakers without compromising DSP-calibrated dispersion, delay, phase, intelligibility or 5.1 surround imaging across the windswept area.

How has your work helped the client?

We transformed an ageing, intrusive installation into a contemporary heritage experience that is advanced, dependable and respectful of the Konark Sun Temple.

Relocating the audience provided unobstructed views of the temple and mandapam. Removing pathway projector masts and consolidating infrastructure within a distant, camouflaged facility restored visual integrity. By day, the technology disappears, allowing visitors to encounter the monument without distraction.

The client retained its content while gaining improvements in brightness, resolution, colour fidelity, geometric accuracy and audiovisual impact. Seamless projection across stone surfaces and calibrated multichannel audio create the impression that the monument itself is telling its story.

The climate-controlled installation reduces exposure to salt, moisture, heat, rain and wildlife. Laser projection, fibre distribution, protected power, earthing and lightning protection improve reliability, safety and maintainability. Centralisation simplifies inspection and maintenance.

The client now has a world-class attraction worthy of Konark. Since inauguration, it has engaged thousands of visitors, extended the experience beyond daylight hours and strengthened cultural, educational and tourism value.

What are you most proud of about the project?

What makes us proud is not the power of eight projectors, nor the pixel-by-pixel translation of content from one PoV and optical configuration into another.

It is knowing that, before one of humanity’s greatest monuments, technology had to disappear.

By day, the protected structure remains untouched; Konark stands without projector masts or a control room competing with its silhouette. The engineering remains distant, camouflaged and silent.

Then night falls…

Eight projections converge upon a surface never built to be a screen. Ancient stone, deep relief, broken geometry and the pillared mandapam become one living canvas. Across the windswept landscape, sound seems to emerge from the monument itself.

Konark was always a masterpiece beyond comparison. We sought only to create a system worthy of its magnificence.

Our greatest success is not that people notice our technology…

It is that they forget it, look up at the Sun Temple, and feel that history has awakened.
