श्रेय

Raam Leela is made by Nolabel Immersive Experiences Pvt Ltd, Mumbai.

The pictures, voices, music and sounds were created by our team using digital and AI tools. The tools are named below.

The words

The Sanskrit is the popular text of Valmiki’s Ramayana, cited verse by verse and checked against the Critical Edition (CrEd, Baroda; GRETIL e-text), published by the Oriental Institute, Vadodara. The Hindi, English and Tamil renderings were written for Raam Leela with the help of Claude (Anthropic); none is copied from a published translation. With gratitude to the translators and editors of the Valmiki Ramayana whose editions are cited on each story’s Sources page.

The voices

Every voice is an AI voice, made with Sarvam Bulbul (Sarvam AI).

The music

The Hindi and Tamil score is composed with an AI music tool, Google’s Lyria, and each track carries Google’s SynthID watermark.

The sound

The sound effects and ambience are generated with ElevenLabs. The OM and the bells you hear on arrival are not recordings: they are composed live in your browser by our own code.

The pictures

Every scene is drawn live by our own engine, built on three.js.

How it was made

With several AI tools, mainly from Anthropic, Google, ElevenLabs, Sarvam and TypeSafe, with OpenAI for early research and design. Some models were reached through fal.ai.
