Rate this post
The search giant,
Google has started its mission in collaboration with 
Archaeological Survey of
India to create several images 
of one of the world’s
wonder, the Taj Mahal along with several other historic monuments in order to
create a virtual replica 
of the monuments. All
images will be clicked by a special machine that will help Google to present a
360 degree view of the 
monument online.


Nishant Nair is in the
Google team that is photographing around hundred monuments in India. Google has
earlier planned a 
similar mission and
successfully photographed Burj Khalifa, Eiffel Tower, Mt Everest and several
other sites. In India, 
Google has hold
several talks with the ISI and launched this project which is an attempt to put
India’s biggest historical 
sites on the web.
