Mystic Lands: A pathbreaking VR series by Elysian Studios
Elysian Studios has created a VR series called Mystic Lands, exploring ancient and blissful lands like Kashi, Bodh Gaya, and Rishikesh. Their journey of content creation started with Kumbh Mela and Key Monastery.
Kumbh Mela is the largest spiritual gathering of people on the planet, Mr. Ghorwal says. Millions of people come together to celebrate and take a holy dip in the sacred river to purify their minds, body, and soul.
Elysian then moved on to Key Monastery in the Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh, where they created a beautiful experience with the monks. They also created a VR experience in the Spiti Valley where you visit the blissful valley and enjoy nature.
Since childhood, Mr. Ghorwal tells us, he has been inclined spiritually. Destiny took him to certain places that he felt were ideal for creating VR experiences, like Kashi – The city of Lord Shiva, Bodh Gaya – The land of Buddha’s Enlightenment and Rishikesh – the Yoga Capital of the World.
