Hi Sudheer,

If I go through WCAG 2.2.2, does the animation start automatically (YES),
does the animation last longer than 5 seconds (YES), is the animation
presented in parallel with other content (YES - there is a text
description), is the animation essential (NO - it can easily be replaced
with a text description).

Meaning, YES your experience would require a play/pause control.

It is unclear from your description whether the text "under" the animation
is actual text, or text embedded into the animation. As mentioned by a
previous poster, if it is not actual text, there needs to be an alternate
way to access the information for both screen reader users and users who
depend on altering the text font, text size, text color, etc. to access the
information.
