Chapter 3 Launches Lalbaugcha Raja - A 360 Degree Experience in Virtual Reality


MUMBAI, August 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

For the first time ever there will be live coverage of the biggest and most beloved Ganpati festival in Mumbai through Lalbaugcha Raja, in virtual reality. This platform offers a 360 degree coverage of the event, for its entire duration, from the 5th of September up to the visarjan on the 16th. Live feed will be available for four hours everyday and the rest will be video on demand. Users can access the event - the darshan, aarti and other ancillary activities online, on their computers, smartphones or tablets by scrolling/tilting or by using any VR gear.

Large numbers of devotees would love to come for the darshan but are hesitant to navigate through the huge serpentine queues which can take hours for a darshan. They will now be able to experience live and immersive darshan of the lord, anytime anywhere across the world.

Chapter 3 has partnered with AlterNet India, VR Creatives and Superlekha in bringing this platform to reality.

Chapter 3 is an Experience Management company building intellectual properties and brand experiences for organizations and institutions. AlterNet and VR Creatives are promising tech start-ups known for their expeditions in Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual Reality (VR) and data analytics. Superlekha is one of the leading publishing houses in Mumbai and has launched a coffee table book on Lalbaugcha Raja.

Ashish Bhushan, CEO of Chapter 3 said, "This platform provides an immersive experience not only for devotees from around the world but is also a great way for brands to engage their consumers via an innovative format."



Yeshwant Datay, CEO of Superlekha said, "Last year, we released a coffee table book on Lalbaugcha Raja and received fantastic response from around the world. We will now do our best to make the virtual reality platform a success."

Anirban Gupta, CEO of AlterNet said, "Technology is the common denominator that unites a diverse nation such as ours as well as with the rest of the globe. Our Virtual Reality platform promises to provide a truly immersive experience to every devotee who is digitally connected today."


Manu Tomar, Founder VR Creatives said, "Managing live content has its own challenges. To make it even more exciting, we decided to take the game a notch higher by adding the Virtual Reality dimension to the same."
