Ooredoo Unveils Santhi Mariyambu for April in Interactive 2025 Calendar

Ooredoo Maldives has launched its innovative Ooredoo Calendar 2025, featuring a new character each month. For April, the spotlight is on Santhi Mariyambu, a figure from Maldivian folklore who visits in the night, exchanging worn teeth for flawless ones. This mysterious figure serves as a warning about the dangers of gossip and idle talk, a tale passed down through generations.

The Ooredoo Calendar 2025 celebrates 12 such legendary figures from local folklore, including iconic characters like Foolhudhigu Handi and Safari Kaiydha. But this calendar is unlike any other—it’s powered by AI, offering an interactive experience. Each month, users can chat directly with the character featured, thanks to Ooredoo’s AI chatbot technology. These digital characters share stories, answer questions, and engage users with the rich cultural heritage of the Maldives.

This initiative is part of Ooredoo’s ongoing commitment to building a Digital Maldives. By merging technology with traditional storytelling, the company aims to preserve and promote the country’s folklore while making it more accessible and engaging for today’s generation.
