Pragnova

A WebGL observatory for astrology computed to the second

The brief

Pragnova.app is the front door to our astrology product — and a statement about what a landing page can be. The entire site is a real-time 3D scene: the Samrat Yantra of Jaipur's Jantar Mantar rebuilt in WebGL, standing under a sky you raise yourself. Scrolling lifts the sun over the observatory, then walks you through all nine grahas — Surya to Ketu — before landing on a single call to action: see your own sky on WhatsApp.

Why it stands out

There is no page here in the ordinary sense — the document is a viewport onto a rendered instrument. The story runs on one idea, computed rather than guessed: the 1728 stone observatory that measured the sky to two seconds becomes the brand's origin myth, and the scroll journey through the navagraha uses NASA/USGS planetary imagery with the chhāyā grahas Rahu and Ketu treated correctly as nodes, not bodies. Sanskrit sits beside English as a first-class script, the copy holds to Drik Ganita and Lahiri Ayanamsa rather than vague mysticism, and the whole experience funnels into the Pragnova Astro WhatsApp thread — the product itself.

Inside the build

Product decisions that do real work.

  • A real-time 3D observatory

    The Samrat Yantra rendered live in WebGL — the site is a scene you move through, not a page you read.

  • Scroll raises the sun

    The scroll position drives the sky itself: dawn light climbs the instrument as you move down the story.

  • A journey through nine grahas

    Surya to Ketu, each introduced in character, with NASA/USGS planet maps and the shadow grahas treated as the nodes they are.

  • Sanskrit as a first-class script

    प्रज्ञा — clear knowing — anchors the brand, with Devanagari set alongside English rather than sprinkled as decoration.

  • Computed, not guessed

    The copy commits to the method — Drik Ganita, Lahiri Ayanamsa, positions to the second — and lets precision be the brand.

  • One funnel, one CTA

    The whole experience resolves into a single action: opening your sky in the Pragnova Astro WhatsApp thread.
