Village-level survey of antiquities
Context
Karnataka is set to become India’s first state to complete a village-level survey of antiquities, as announced during the World Heritage Day.
About Heritage Survey
- Karnataka has launched a village-level antiquities survey across the state. It is a first-of-its-kind survey.
- This is being done by the Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage
- The aim is to document all antiquities in villages — including:
- Inscriptions
- Sculptures
- Monuments
- Karnataka has completed the documentation in 119 taluks, aiming to cover the rest by end of FY 2024–25.
- Every antiquity is being geo-tagged, which will create a spatial database for better protection and policy planning.
- Once completed, it will serve as a template for other states to digitally preserve and manage their heritage.
- Scope of Karnataka’s Monuments: The state has:
- Over 800 monuments protected by the State Government
- More than 600 protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)
