Bengaluru (PTI): India’s largest LED-based immersive screen space theatre launched in Bengaluru on Saturday at Wonderla Bengaluru, an amusement park chain.

Called Mission Interstellar, the theatre offers next-generation flying space voyage experience. It is housed within an eight-storey dome-shaped structure with a 23-meter-high roof.

Arun K Chittilappilly, Executive Chairman & MD, Wonderla Holidays Ltd, said, “With Mission Interstellar, we are ushering in a new era of immersive entertainment that seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with excitement.”

The launch is also a celebration of Wonderla’s 25 years in the business.

The state-of-the-art attraction is India’s largest LED-based immersive screen theatre, stated a press release issued by Wonderla. The ride features a 22m x 15m curved LED screen, offering clarity, and a 3500 square feet enclosure that mimics a realistic spacecraft, added the release.

A hydraulic lift seating system for 60 guests, imported from Italy, elevates riders 40 feet into the air, synchronising movement with high-tech laser projections and environmental effects such as wind for a fully immersive flying sensation, it was stated in the press release.

Mission Interstellar was launched by Kannada actor Ashika Ranganath.

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka government on Monday issued a nutrition advisory recommending healthier food and beverage options at meetings, functions, and other official gatherings held in the state.

The advisory has been issued by the Department of Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Services to promote healthy dietary and nutritional habits among officials and staff, noting that food, refreshments and beverages served in government offices and official programmes are "often not aligned with nutrition standards."

The advisory recommends serving snacks such as millet-based, low-fat and low-sugar foods, fresh fruits, vegetable salads, sprouts, roasted nuts and seeds during in-house office meetings and breaks.

Beverages such as green tea, low-fat buttermilk, and locally filtered or boiled water served in glass bottles or steel flasks have also been suggested.

According to the advisory, for larger government events, conferences and exhibitions, departments have been advised to include at least one millet-based item during snacks and a minimum of two millet dishes in meals, along with local cuisine and at least one regional recipe.

It also recommends the use of brown rice instead of white rice, freshly prepared vegetable salads, and fresh fruits or low-sugar fruit juices.

If non-vegetarian food is served, it should consist of well-cooked lean or white meat, the advisory stated.

In eateries operating within government office campuses, the department has recommended millet-based foods, fresh vegetable salads, boiled pulses such as horse gram or chickpeas, and low-fat beverages.

It suggests serving food using reusable metal plates and glasses.

The advisory also recommends avoiding microwave-heated food, industrially processed food, fried snacks, high-fat or heavily spiced dishes, carbonated drinks, high-sugar fruit juices, and alcoholic beverages.

It further discourages serving milk-based tea or coffee and plastic-bottled water during official events.

“Overall, hygiene and cleanliness should be maintained while serving food and water. Local cottage industries, self-help groups, prison kitchens, nutri-gardens and others should be preferred for placing food and beverage orders,” the advisory added.
