Google announced today
the availability of 76 historical sites in India that can be viewed from
Google Maps or through the Google
Cultural Institute site. These 360-degree photos will let you take a tour of the Kangra
Fort without
having to pack a single bag. Thanks to support from the Archaeological Survey
of India (ASI), along with previous efforts, Google’s imagery of historic
shots of India has surpassed 100 pictures, with locations like the Taj
Mahal and Humayun’s
Tomb already
available to view.
In addition to
historical places to visit, Google has added content from several new
Indian arts and archival institutions to its cultural portal. This includes
exhibits organized by Indian screenwriter and photographer Sooni
Taraporevala at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Delhi. History buffs can
also have a virtual encounter with India’s first Independence Day in 1947
through eyes of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru by way of content from the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library.
