RigVeda 3D

RigVeda 3D Explorer

Exploring Ancient Texts in 3D Space


The Rig Veda is vast. Ten Mandalas. Thousands of verses. Reading through it linearly felt wrong. Too flat.

The Problem

Traditional websites treat ancient texts like books. Scroll, read, click next. For something as interconnected as the Rig Veda, that's not engaging.

3D Navigation

I visualized 10 Mandalas as interactive atoms floating in 3D space. Navigate by flying through the structure. Click a Mandala, dive into its hymns. Smooth animations. Dynamic colors.

AI-Powered Search

Added semantic search using OpenAI embeddings. Search by concept, not just keywords. Jump directly to relevant verses.

Multi-Format Experience

Sanskrit Devanagari. Transliteration. English translation. Audio narration in Hindi and English with word-by-word highlighting. Integrated Sanskrit dictionary for meanings.
