- Glimpse of archival footage of Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 Opening Ceremony.
The opening ceremony of the 2010 Commonwealth Games was held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, the main stadium of the event, in New Delhi, India. It began at 7:00 PM (IST) on 3 October 2010 ending at 10:00 PM (IST) displaying India's varied culture in a plethora of cultural showcases.
The Prince of Wales (representing Elizabeth II as Head of the Commonwealth) officially declared the Games open jointly with President of India Pratibha Patil. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of the host nation, India, attended the opening ceremony as well.
A total of three heads of state from outside India attended the opening ceremony; two from Commonwealth nations and one from a non-Commonwealth nation. The three head of states are Mohamed Nasheed, President of the Maldives, Marcus Stephen, President of Nauru and a multiple Commonwealth gold medallist, and Albert II, Prince of Monaco, a former Olympian, whose country Monaco is not a member of the Commonwealth. Sir Anand Satyanand, the Governor General of New Zealand (the first of Indian descent), attended the ceremony as well.
Alongside the Commonwealth president, attendees included International Olympic Committee president, Jacques Rogge. He was quoted as saying "I think India has set a good foundation stone for the Olympics bid and a successful Commonwealth Games can help India mount a serious bid for the Olympics.
The countdown for the opening of commonwealth games start as the drums were being played, and fireworks exploded from the roof of the stadium. Various Drummers from Kerala, Manipur, Karnataka, Orissa, Punjab and Meghalaya played a symphony that aimed to be "uniquely Indian in character, yet global in appeal".
Hariharan led this segment, which created an amalgamation of Hindustani classical, Carnatic and folk music. The song was composed by A. R. Rahman, who also composed the official theme song of the games, and was performed by various artists along with Hariharan. Children from various Delhi schools participated in a simultaneous performance forming hands of an Indian woman in a pose of Namaste - a popular Indian salutation. Later, they separated and rearranged themselves in another formation representing the Indian flag colors of saffron, white and green while another group of children entered the stadium and covered the flag formations with a large white cloth. In a widely appreciated act, the children then made a mehndi - a traditional Indian art - on this large white piece of cloth in under 30 seconds on the spot.
Pt. Birju Maharaj (Kathak), Guru Rajkumar Singhajit Singh-Charu Sija Mathur (Manipuri), Dr. Saroja Vaidyanathan (Bharatnatyam), Dr. Sonal Mansingh (Odissi), Bharati Shivaji (Mohiniattam) and Raja Reddy-Radha Reddy (Kuchipudi) choreographed 480 dancers bringing alive India's "Guru-Shishya Parampara" or the master-protege tradition on stage through classical dance recitals which also depicted four different seasons of India. The aerostat (the largest ever helium balloon built for such an event) formed the leaves of the Bodhi tree, while large strips elevated from the ground, made of silk and bamboo fibre form the tree trunk.
A.R. Rahman ended the programme with his rendition of "Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto", the theme song of the Delhi games, and "Jai Ho".

Will I still be alive to see something like this if they host the Olympics?
India isn't too keen on Olympics because of the mess that has been made since the Greece Olympics on every venue
Plus the credibility of india is also an issue because of the cwg scam
Still the best opening ceremony in cwg history
Best ceremony even more then London Olympics
But I watched a documentary about cwg corruption
But no words
Really made you history
Love from Pakistan
Love you brother from india
Pumped up with goosebumbs ,hope india get a chance to host olympics some day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think so, host Olympic Games in 3rd world country is a disaster for a country especially economic. Even my country, Malaysia has a good facilities on sports but they couldn't even win the hosting rights for Asian Games 2018 from Vietnam that withdraw from the event because of huge financial issue. But I believe India will host Asian Games or AFC Asian Cup in future.
@@xavierlow5848 Bro, we already hosted twice. Even 1st Asian games was hosted by India in 1951. And in 1982 also India hosted Asian games. Now it's time to host Olympic, I know it is not a good time to host, but after 10 to 11 years i hope India will able to host Olympic
@@xavierlow5848 We will be hosting the 2022 AFC Asian Women's Cup.
@@lavanyarapaka2401 Good luck for India in 2022, it is good to empower the sports facilities.
@@xavierlow5848 That is very nice of you !
Indian culture is beautiful 👌
Those were the golden days of our country..Jai hind 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Manmath Pal Agreed however corruption isn't unique to India alone and such crap happens all over the world... Which isn't an excuse but let's just not beat ourselves a bit too much with the same wand
Bjp m corruption hat gya na
Sandeep Sandhu because it’s better to vote for that shameless PM who asks for votes in the name of martyred soldier. Seriously Modi is the most shameless person..economy 0..Social unrest at the highest
