Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a 3D projection light and sound show at Surya Mandir (Sun Temple) in Modhera, Gujarat's Mehsana district, which he declared earlier in the day India's first 24x7 solar-powered village.
The prime minister visited the famous Sun Temple after laying the foundation stone for the project in Modhera.
As part of the solar project, heritage lighting has been installed on the temple premises. Witnessing the lighting, people can visit the temple from 6 pm to 10 pm, news agency PTI reported.
The solar-powered 3-D projection is dedicated by PM Modi and will educate visitors about the history of the village.
Addressing a rally here, PM Modi said that Modhera was known for the Sun temple, now it will also be known as solar-powered village.
Making Modhera the country's first round-the-clock solar-powered village involved developing a ground-mounted solar power plant and more than 1,300 rooftop solar systems on residential and government buildings, a government release said.
PM Modi on Sunday reached Ahmedabad to inaugurate multiple projects and to take part in various programmes in Modhera village in the Mehsana district of Gujarat.
