🚨 Announcing Rig Veda Hackathon (₹7,000 prize) 🚨
Build anything that makes the Rig Veda delightful to explore - interactive viz, bot, mantra visualizer, quiz, data viz… surprise us!
Dataset:
Use RigVed samhita only. (Mandalas 1 - Mandalas 10). Khilas are not allowed.
Hard rules:
• Publicly accessible link. No login. No paywall.
• AI is allowed. No drama about tools.
• Works on desktop. Mobile friendly is a plus.
• Attribute your sources. Do not upload copyrighted translations that you do not have rights to host.
• Keep user data collection to zero or near zero. If you log anything, say so clearly.
Judging criteria:
• Design: visual clarity, typography, layout, taste.
• Usability: can a curious person get value in 30 seconds without reading a manual.
• Performance: quick load, smooth interactions.
• Rigor: correct references, honest framing, citations where needed.
• Originality: a novel idea or a fresh twist on a known tool.
• User delight: the “wow, this is fun and insightful” factor.
Submit
Reply with: 1-line pitch + 30–60s demo + live link (+ GitHub if any). Tag #RigVedaHack.
I will feature the winner in my upcoming Rig Veda video and across my socials, with credit. This is also a talent-scouting exercise. If you impress me, we will jam on bigger things.
