G20 Summit: Civilisational heritage meets cutting-edge technology at 'Mother of Democracy' exhibition
India has been showcased at the G20 Summit venue through elements drawn from its rich civilisational heritage and cutting-edge digital technology. Titled 'Bharat: Mother of Democracy', the exhibition displays texts and images from ancient scriptures while portraying them on digital panels.
It has been set up at Hall No. 14 of the Bharat Mandapam complex, where the G20 Summit got underway on Saturday.
Delegates offices have also been set up in the same hall, and many of them got an opportunity to see the tech-driven exhibition on ancient heritage of India.
Visitors are greeted by an artificial intelligence-generated 'avatar', depicting a woman wearing a traditional Indian dress.
«She gestures with a folded hand, and a visitor can then select one of the 16 global languages in which they want the avatar to greet them verbally,» a source told PTI.
These languages include English, French Mandarin, Italian, Korean and Japanese, he added.
The exhibition showcases India's democratic traditions from the «Vedic period to the modern era», they said.
The textual content, along with its audio is presented in the «16 global languages».
