The Pune Architectural History Archive (PAHA) is a new project that helps keep the history of Pune's buildings safe. It was opened at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. This archive is the first big online place where people can find information about important buildings in Pune.
PAHA has worked hard to save many old drawings, pictures, and documents about Pune's buildings. They've saved 7,000 drawings, 500 photographs, and 105 documents. This means that people can now see and learn about Pune's history in a new way. There are also recordings of interviews that tell stories about how Pune's buildings have changed over time.
What makes PAHA special is that it allows everyone to join in. People can share their own stories and old photos about Pune's buildings. This helps keep important memories safe for the future. It also makes sure that the history of Pune's buildings is told in a true way.
This project uses technology to help protect and share information about buildings. It stops old papers from getting damaged and creates a way for people to keep adding new information about Pune's buildings.
PAHA helps everyone, like students, teachers, and citizens, learn more about Pune's history and its beautiful buildings.
