Aah okay, so the 24 videos are the round names and/or themes for the WPC 2026.

Yes.

After some more thoughts,

Raghu Clan/lineage = Classics

Vanaras Assemble = Team round

Search for Sita = Relay round

Bridge to Lanka = Mechanical/Linked round

We can play mastermind with these guesses. You get one black dot.
