- The first Pythian Games will be held in 2027, the Junior Pythian Games in 
2025, and the Para Pythian Games in 2024.
- Beginning of a new era and opportunities for artists, players, tourists, and 
national economies – Bijender Goel.


    It is a historic day for the Modern Pythian Games when Royal Majesties, 
Ambassadors, entrepreneurs, cultural organizations, and artisans from more than 
90 countries came together to form the International Pythian Council and join 
the revival of the Delphi idea of 'Modern Pythian Games' in front of the 
world's media today at the Hotel Le Meridian in New Delhi.

   
    Mr. Bijender Goel, is the founder of Delphic India trust and International 
Pythian council that holds the intellectual property rights for the 'Modern 
Pythian Games' [https://pythiangames.org/]. He conceptualised the idea of 
Pythian games, addressed the press conference and briefed them on the concept 
of this game. He said that the Pythian Games had been part of the Pan Hellenic 
Games in ancient Greece since 582 B.C. and were ranked second in importance 
behind the Olympics before the discontinuation of all Pan Hellenic games in 394 
A.D.

    The Modern Pythian Games shall be held every four year and provide new hope 
with its multilevel structure, help national economies, promote tourism, and 
create jobs for artisans and stakeholders. These games will serve as a single 
global platform for the vibrant exchange of arts, culture, traditional, 
adventure, entertainment, games, e-sports, air sports, and martial arts. These 
games will be an important way to bring people from different countries 
together through cultural diplomacy. This will also be a big step toward making 
the 800-billion-euro creative industry a more organised sector.

    "The sentiments for artisans are transforming into a global movement to 
support artisans" as quoted by Hon'ble PM, Shri Narendra Modi, in his recent 
speech 'MANN KI BAAT'.
