Mega Festival Presentation: This spectacular mega presentation is based on the concept of multi arts/multi media performance, showcasing the rich performing and other cultural traditions of the region. In this event, all the performances are designed, choreographed and composed in such an interesting way that a larger and magnified impact comes on the stage supported by high powered sound, scanner, laser, projections and digital lighting system.

Light and Sound / Dance-Drama: Bagh-e-Bahu features Light and Sound programme or a Dance Drama presented by the artists of Song and Drama.
