After months of planning, the civic body is now set to start work on the swanky multimedia fountain as part of the city's first heritage textile museum at Kalachowkie. After getting the approval of the standing committee on the project last week, the contractor appointed by the Heritage Department will start working on the design and content that will be displayed on the multimedia fountain and will also start constructing the electricity sub-station and the control room near the lake next month.

Civic officials said that the design and content will be finalised and approved by the expert committee within the next three months. "Once the content has the approval, the fountain will be installed within nine months. The multimedia fountain is part of phase I of the project and once the work is complete, it'll be opened to the general public next year," said an official from the Heritage Department.
