The performance was breathtaking. "Special thanks to the entire team for making it a success." According to Bijender Goel, Founder of the Modern Pythian Games, "it is a proud moment for all of us as India leads the world's first cultural movement and holds the intellectual property rights for such a historical game." The Pythian and Olympic Games emerged in Greek history and existed at the same time until all Panhellenic games were discontinued in 394 A.D. The Pythian Games included music, dance, poetry, singing, athletics, martial arts like wrestling, and chariot racing. The Olympic Games, on the other hand, had competitions in many different sports. "It is the beginning of a new era for artisans, cultural activists, and traditional game players," he added. Modern Pythian Games will be a gateway for them to establish themselves as celebrities in various arts categories (music, dance, poetry, painting, fashion, culinary, ecology, architecture, robotics, graphic design, traditional games, and martial arts) at an international level, promote tourism, and strengthen the economies of respective member nations. "We will start cultural education programmes and establish global awards in every art category." Pythian Games serve as a unified global platform to commemorate the exchange of arts, culture, games, e-sport, adventure, entertainment, martial arts, and air sports through competitions where artisans will be able to represent their flags by showcasing the art on a state, national, and international level. The Pythian Games have originally introduced in ancient Greece around 582 BC, during the era of the Pan-Hellenic Games. The modern Pythian game introduces a new hope by combining multiple structures that promote tourism and national economies while also creating job opportunities for artisans and associates.
