The AI video has gone viral on social media platforms, especially on Instagram, with more than three million likes and nearly six million views quickly.
The AI-generated video got many praises. One user commented, “This is a masterpiece.”
Others said, “Very nicely done,” and “Oscar Award for Editor.” Another said, “No words to describe how happy this made me.”
The festival has started on 13 January 2025, and by the end of the 45 days, it will attract more than 40 crore devotees. Over six crore devotees have already taken a holy dip at the Sangam so far in the first four days.
