We have visited the place three years back. For children and for those who want to know about our culture and history, seeing the shows is really enlightening. How Bhagwan takes different forms and plays different roles in different eras to remove our ignorance and teach us the dharmic way of life --Swami Narayan's life enlightens us in this regard.
