Digital Gandhara will be a 3d reconstruction of Buddhist historical sites using state of theart digital technologies. Different techniques would be employed for accurate 3d dataacquisitions. Buildings would be surveyed by 3d digital survey techniques using conventionaltotal station and reflector less EDMs. Close range scanning using triangulation (15-30 range)would be used for small complex objects such as stupas, sculptures and archaeologicalartifacts. Medium to long range scanners (approximately 12-15 m) would be used for interiorsand exteriors facades. Digital townscape of Taxila would be accurately reconstructed. Awebsite would complement the interactive landscape, models of the sites and database ofcollections of Taxila Museum. Site would provide digital 2d computer graphics, architecturalmaterials, diagrams, old excavation photographs and plans etc. The focus of that project isaccurate 3d data acquisition and application of 3d data for 3d reconstruction of historicalsites. The project would capture the attention of historians, architects, preservationists, artistsand tourist on global level. It would also serve as respiratory of rich database of TaxilaMuseum easily available everywhere. It is also a learning tool as it would transport viewersinto sites it self, learning about Buddhist rich culture and history.
