Ooredoo Maldives has unveiled the latest chapter of its AI-powered Ooredoo Calendar 2025, spotlighting Kulhlhavah Falu Ranin, one of the most recognisable heroines in Maldivian folklore.
The calendar, launched earlier this year, reimagines 12 legendary figures from Dhivehi literature using artificial intelligence. Each month introduces a new character that customers can interact with through Ooredoo’s intelligent chatbot, offering an immersive and interactive storytelling experience.
According to Ooredoo Maldives, this month’s feature centres on Kulhlhavah Falu Ranin, the girl raised in a kulhlhavah faa who catches the attention of a visiting king. After becoming queen, she grows distant from her roots, forgetting even the meaning of “kulhlhavah”. Her arrogance angers the king, who sends her back to the swamp, where she becomes known as Kulhlhavah Falu Ranin. The AI experience allows users to explore this tale from a fresh perspective.
Characters featured throughout the year include familiar figures from stories such as Foolhudhigu Handi and Safari Kaiydha, presented in a modern, digitally interactive format. Customers can chat with each character to hear their stories, ask questions and learn about Maldivian folklore in an engaging way.
Ooredoo states that the initiative supports its broader vision of building a Digital Maldives by blending tradition with technology. By transforming folklore into a digital experience, the company aims to preserve cultural heritage and strengthen connections across generations.
Customers can access the monthly characters through Ooredoo’s AI chatbot and take part in a year-long journey through Maldivian myths and legends.
