Coimbatore: Axis Three Dee Studios, the creators of Adiyogi Divya Darshanam, a light and sound spectacle of projection mapping at the Isha Yoga Center, has won the prestigious Mondo*dr EMEA & APAC Award for Technology in Entertainment in the category of House of Worship.
In a release by Isha, Adiyogi Divya Darshanam was among several entries from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific region. Other entries in the shortlist included two chapels from the UK and a church from France in the House of Worship category. The Mondo*dr awards celebrate the best installation projects from around the globe.
Avijit Samajdar, the founder of Axis Three Dee and the visual director of Adiyogi Divya Darshanam, said he was “overwhelmed and humbled” by the recognition and added, “I’m absolutely grateful to 'Sadhguru' Jaggi Vasudev for giving me the opportunity to work with Adiyogi. 'Sadhguru' was involved in every aspect of creating Adiyogi Divya Darshanam – right from writing the script for the story, to the actual narration, the music, the visualization and all the details. The music composed by Sounds of Isha greatly enhanced the spectacular show.”
Adiyogi Divya Darshanam is a 14-minute projection show mapped on the largest bust sculpture in the world, the 112-foot Adiyogi bust at the Isha Yoga Center just outside Coimbatore city in Tamil Nadu. Accompanied by a narration on Adiyogi in the voice of Sadhguru, Founder, Isha Foundation, the spellbinding show attracts thousands of visitors to the Yoga Center on weekends. The show is currently suspended because of the pandemic lockdown.
Samajdar said that "it was the first time that projection mapping had been attempted on a black contoured surface area of 8000 sq ft. Because black is said to absorb colours, the team had to devise a unique colour palette to overcome the challenge".
