Bhuvan: India in 3D and so much more

The Bhuvan homepage

All of us have seen Google maps and the satellite images of our neighbourhood. Can you tilt the image just a little bit and go from the view of a satellite to the view of a landing aircraft? Perhaps like this:

From a satellite

From a landing aircraft

This 3D view is now possible for us to see! ISRO and other national agencies have created a 3D visualisation of India that collects satellite data from multiple sources and creates these visualisations for us.

Bhuvan 3D can be accessed here.

Other Bhuvan applications

Like the other GIS websites, there are thematic maps.

Bhuvan Lite

Bhuvan Lite is a simple, quick to load map application that opens directly to the maps. Scroll is quick and smooth.

Open Data Archive

Open Data Archive Home page

Open Data Archive is another very interesting application available under Bhuvan. In this, we can choose the satellite whose visualisation we want to see.
