Detailed Description

This project features an interactive accordion book that narrates the magnificent journey of the River Ganga—from its icy origins at the Gangotri Glacier to its confluence with the ocean—highlighting its cultural, spiritual, and ecological significance. Designed to educate and engage readers of all ages, the book combines storytelling with technology through augmented reality (AR), allowing users to experience the river’s sights, sounds, and stories in an immersive way. Each fold reveals aspects of the Ganga’s rich legacy—its sacred origins, diverse ecosystems, fertile plains, and thriving cities. A built-in game component with puzzles and quizzes further enhances learning, making the exploration both fun and meaningful. This innovative project celebrates the Ganga as a lifeline of India, inspiring awareness and appreciation for its enduring cultural and environmental importance.
