It is a one week special festival where colorful programs were organized and laser show became the center of attraction. The shikaras lit up with colorful lights and it was shadowed by the performance of artists in traditional costumes. A Shikara carnival was also organized before the opening of the cinema in the heart of Dal Lake. The specialty of this floating theater is that people can watch the movie while enjoying the Dal Lake.
