MandirWiki

MandirWiki is a mobile platform developed to revolutionise pilgrimage experiences in India. It addresses the fragmented nature of temple-related information, which is often dispersed and inconsistent across various sources. The key issues it tackles include finding reliable temple data and the lack of resources for effective trip planning.

MandirWiki consolidates comprehensive pilgrimage information into a single, user-friendly app available on Android and iOS, supporting both English and Hindi. The app uses AI for personalised trip planning, real-time data, and online bookings for services like digital lockers. Integrations with smart home devices and features like wish lists, itineraries, blogging services, and a chatbot named Samay enhance user engagement. Samay provides detailed temple information and practical services like pre-booking pandits, donations, pooja offerings, and smart lockers.

Additional offerings include boat bookings for aarti darshan, souvenirs, and VR Darshan. Google Maps integration helps with navigation and itinerary planning. A recommendation engine tailors information to enhance the pilgrimage experience.

Phase two of MandirWiki will introduce innovative features like drone light and sound shows, digital photo booths, live aarti viewings through VR, and support for local and foreign languages. It aims to support local economies by offering employment, integrating local transport options, and featuring a marketplace for religious items. The app will allow real-time user edits, similar to Wikipedia, ensuring it remains up-to-date and community-driven.
