LiDAR survey to look for Lakkundi’s hidden monuments

The Department of Archaeology Museums and Heritage (DAMH) in Karnataka plans to use advanced technologies like LiDAR, GIS mapping, and ground-penetrating radar to uncover hidden monuments in Lakkundi, a historically significant site from the 10th to 12th centuries CE. Local traditions suggest there may be 101 wells and 101 temples, many of which remain concealed. The collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) aims to improve archaeological documentation through digital tools, reducing reliance on traditional methods. An MoU was signed on August 27, and discussions with ISRO experts contributed to the initiative. The project seeks to create a more accurate understanding of the region's heritage and support sustainable monument management.
