Delhi’s Multiverse of Mahabharata

An epic 3D mythological experience is reimagining history at Bharat Mandapam

Blogpost:
The timeless tales of the Mahabharata have been retold for centuries through text, theater, television, and more recently, digital platforms. But never before has Delhi witnessed them like this. Bharat Mandapam, the grandeur-filled venue best known for hosting the G20 Summit, has now become home to one of the most stunning immersive experiences currently trending on Indian social media—an AI, VR and AR-powered rendition of our sacred epic called “Bharat: The Mother of All Journeys”.

In a time when global audiences are craving depth in storytelling and authenticity in historical context, this state-of-the-art exhibition offers a refreshingly rooted yet thoroughly modern way to reconnect with India’s civilization narrative. Visitors are greeted with digital avatars of Indian sages, holographic kings, AI-detailed battle sequences and smart storytelling in over 16 languages. Even skeptical Gen Z visitors are coming away wide-eyed and deeply impressed—talking about it across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and even Reddit.

This experience is a quiet masterstroke in cultural communication. Instead of sermonizing about heritage, it immerses you into it. Rather than a museum-style layout with plaques and artifacts, visitors are guided through a thoughtfully choreographed walk-through mapping 12,000 years of Indian history, from the Vedic times to modern-day achievements. The emotional crescendo is the Mahabharata zone, where familiar heroes like Arjuna and Draupadi feel like hyperreal characters, thanks to spatial audio, atmospheric visuals and dynamic light projections. Parents with schoolchildren are calling it “better than textbook history,” and rightly so.

What makes this initiative special is not just its technology, but its intention. At a time when most metaverse experiments are confined to gaming or commerce, this one aims to cultivate cultural pride and emotional resonance. It’s a reminder that India doesn’t need to borrow format or flare from anywhere else—the stories are already here, magnificent and eternal. All it takes is a new lens to look at them.

As Delhi slowly uncovers this gem at the heart of Pragati Maidan, it’s the perfect moment to revisit epic wisdom through a thoroughly modern path. All we need to do is show up and surrender to the story.
