YAAZHAI

Heritage, preserved. Stories, experienced.

YAAZHAI is a heritage preservation initiative that uses immersive 360° VR experiences to bring historic places closer to people — wherever they are.

A new way to experience cultural heritage.

YAAZHAI combines heritage research, visual storytelling and immersive technology to document and share India's historic monuments. Instead of heritage being experienced only by those who can physically visit, YAAZHAI creates accessible digital experiences that can be explored from a phone, computer or VR headset.

“Enter the heritage. Look around. Discover the story.”
