Inspiration

OmMarga was inspired by our desire to give back to our spiritual and cultural roots. In today’s fast-moving world, devotional practices often take a back seat. We wanted to create something that bridges tradition and technology, making daily practices like chanting, pradakshina, and reading stotras more accessible and meaningful.

What it does

OmMarga is a digital devotional companion that brings together:

  • Stotra Library in Telugu and English with search, favorites, and language switch.
  • Japamala Counter for counting 108 beads and tracking completed malas.
  • Pradakshina Counter to record rounds of circumambulation with daily resets.
  • Panchang / Tithi Info with a suggested daily stotra.
  • Daily Image/Wallpaper that changes every day to inspire positivity.

How we built it

We built OmMarga using:

  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript for UI and interactivity.
  • JSON for devotional data like stotras, quotes, and tithi.
  • LocalStorage to save user progress and preferences.
  • JavaScript logic for counters, quotes, daily images, and theme switching (Dark/Light mode).

Challenges we ran into

  • Managing stotras in two languages (Telugu and English) with proper formatting.
  • Ensuring counters reset daily while preserving progress across sessions.
  • Designing a clean UI that feels devotional yet modern.
  • Making all features consistent and smooth with LocalStorage persistence.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Creating a devotional tool that blends tradition with technology.
  • Ensuring offline usability with LocalStorage.
  • Designing a user-friendly interface with minimal learning curve.
  • Staying true to our mission of spreading devotion through tech.

What we learned

  • How to structure and handle JSON data for devotional content.
  • Effective use of LocalStorage for persistent user data.
  • Designing devotional user experiences that balance simplicity and functionality.
  • Building time-based features like daily resets and randomization.

What's next for OmMarga

  • Adding audio stotras with playback controls.
  • A calendar view for Panchang and festivals.
  • A community space for sharing favorite stotras and devotional practices.
  • Expanding into a mobile app for anytime, anywhere access.
