What happens when tradition meets creative coding?
This is a premium interactive Ganesh Chaturthi experience built with React, Vite, Three.js and WebGL.
The experience takes the user through a cinematic visual journey where golden light and particles come together to form Lord Ganesha, transform into a detailed 3D idol, respond to the user's interaction, and eventually dissolve back into flowing light.
This isn't a traditional website.
It's a creative-coding experience designed to make people stop scrolling and explore.
You will receive the complete source code of the experience, including:
The project follows a cinematic sequence:

Every stage is connected through animation and visual storytelling rather than being a collection of disconnected effects.
React — Component-based application structure
Vite — Fast development and production tooling
Three.js — 3D/WebGL rendering
GLSL Shaders — Custom particle and visual effects
JavaScript — Interaction, sequencing and application logic
CSS — Styling, typography and responsive design
The source code is organized into separate systems and components so you can understand and customize the experience instead of dealing with one giant file.
You'll find dedicated areas for:
You don't need to manually configure everything from scratch.
Make sure Node.js is installed on your computer.
Open the downloaded project in VS Code or your preferred editor.
npm install
npm run dev
Open the local URL provided by Vite.
That's it. ✨
The project is structured so you can experiment with it.
You can customize things like:
So this isn't just something you run once.
Use it as a starting point for your own creative experiments.
When you're ready to publish:
npm run build
This generates the production build that can be deployed to compatible static hosting platforms such as Netlify or other services supporting Vite applications.
This source code is especially useful for:
You don't need to recreate the entire experience from scratch.
Study it → modify it → experiment → build your own version.
Ganesh Chaturthi is traditionally experienced through celebration, art and devotion.
I wanted to explore what happens when that feeling is expressed through interactive technology and creative coding.
So instead of making another static festival website, I built an experience where light creates Ganesha, the user interacts with the idol, and the form eventually returns to light.
Tradition meets technology.
