Bengaluru's Diwali Sky Shines Bright In Viral Drone Hyperlapse, Nirmala Sitharaman Reacts

A stunning video shared by Bengaluru's Srihari Karanath has gone viral on social media for capturing the grandeur of Diwali celebrations in the city. Karanath, who is a DGCA-certified drone pilot associated with Karnataka Tourism, took a hyperlapse of the Bengaluru night sky painted with sparkles. The breathtaking video has not only captured the interest of social media users but also Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs Nirmala Sitharaman.

"Drone Hyperlapse over Bengaluru captures a stunning Deepawali sky!" Karanath captioned the video posted on X (formerly Twitter).

A hyperlapse is a form of timelapse, but instead of keeping the camera static, it is moved between each shot, creating a sense of motion. As the drone moved across the Bengaluru skyline, the city shone gloriously with the fireworks, the light of Diwali diyas and decorations.

"This has come out so well. The canvas is artistic. Brush strokes are camera exposure. Great effort," wrote Sitharaman.
