It took 3 months to produce and install this map at SPM English School, Pune. Mrs. Rama Kulkarni, Principal at SPM English School also helped in curating this map.

 

 

This ancient India map is produced using latest 3D technology and is made up of Fibre Reinforced Plastic, which is highly durable in it's nature. This map being three dimensional in it's nature, it exactly replicates all geographical features like mountain ranges, hills, plateaus, valleys, rivers, coastal areas and geographical contours of the Indian sub-continent. The viewer gets to experience the Indian geography as it is in it's miniature format.

 

One gets to see all the ancient cultural cues in this 3D map of Ancient India such as, sixteen Maha Jana padas mentioned in Mahabharata, ancient kingdoms and their regions. This 3D map is not only a geographical representation of the current India but also a cultural legend of Ancient India that is long forgotten by our current generations.

Students learn and memorise lot of things quickly through experiences and visuals. For example, they learn about science through various experiments in Science labs. This 3D map of ancient India, is just like a History-Geography Experience Lab for students, where they actually get to experience and re-live the geographical and historical events and moments in the History of India. This History-Geography 3D lab is a must have lab for all schools.

 

Unless our students relate themselves with the great history and heritage of our nation and experience it in relation with our vast and diverse geography, our future generations will never be able to emotially bond with the idea of Ancient India.
