The mega-musical journey that tells the story of Shri Krishna‘s eternal life, “Rajadhiraaj: Love. Life. Leela,” captivated the audience with its artistic genius on its opening night and garnered an astounding ovation in Delhi. Long after the notes had faded, the national capital’s Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Auditorium was filled with devotion as it reverberated with the symphony of music and the holy name of Shri Krishna.

On its second day, the auditorium was crowded with a passionate crowd as well, and Shraddha Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, and Vedang Raina added even more glitz.

The show, which was conceptualized by the visionary Dhanraj Nathwani, brought generations together to celebrate the rich tapestry of tradition, culture, and art. Most importantly, it helped them get closer to Rajadhiraaj Shri Krishna, the immortal deity.

This show will enchant the city’s spectators until December 8, 2024.

Prasoon Joshi, a Padma Shri Award-winning screenwriter and lyricist, wrote the world’s first musical based on the life of Shri Krishna. It depicts Dwarkadheesh and Shrinathji, two manifestations of Shri Krishna. With 180 performers, the musical takes viewers on an enthralling trip through the many stories of Shri Krishna.

The 20 unique, heartfelt soundtracks created by the musical team of Sachin-Jigar are the production’s main attraction. The music creates a complex tune that cuts beyond boundaries by combining Indian classical music with Western symphonic components from Budapest.

Bertwin D’Souza and Shampa Gopikrishna’s captivating choreography and Omung Kumar’s elaborate set design give the production a breathtaking visual appeal that heightens its emotional depth and cultural diversity. Renowned costume designer Neeta Lulla uses her custom-made, unique costumes to bring legendary figures to life.

Parthiv Gohil and Viral Rachh are the show’s creative producers, while Raam Mori, a National Award-winning writer, has helped with the project’s extensive story research.

The show “Rajadhiraaj: Love. Life. Leela” honors the eternal divine, art, and devotion. It guarantees a captivating theatrical experience and an evening to remember.
