Gwalior cultural legacy consists of rich archaeological ruins (monuments) and we made efforts to identify the important sites using remote sensing techniques. The satellite images provide data for mapping of the cultural heritage site areas on high resolution. The improper mapping has caused a serious cultural crisis where such monuments are depicted with ordinary symbols and only few well known monuments are mapped.

Abstract


Gwalior cultural legacy consists of rich archaeological ruins (monuments) and we made efforts to identify the important sites using remote sensing techniques. The satellite images provide data for mapping of the cultural heritage site areas on high resolution. The improper mapping has caused a serious cultural crisis where such monuments are depicted with ordinary symbols and only few well known monuments are mapped.
