Question

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
1. India’s most famous monuments have always drawn visitors from around the world. Till now, one had to physically visit these places to enjoy the sight. Not any more, as the best known monuments of India can now be viewed online. The iconic Taj Mahal, Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, amongst other popular historical sites, will now be available for online viewing with a 360-degree panoramic view, thanks to a recent initiative by Google and the Archeological Survey of India (ASI).

2. Under this scheme, 30 of 100 nationally acclaimed monuments will now be viewable to one-third of the world’s population. The Minister of Culture in India launched this project at Safdarjung’s Tomb. This enterprise will bring to the doorstep of every India lover a virtual view of their favourite and iconic monument of India. Millions of people will now be able to take a virtual walk through the rock-cut Jain temples of Dilwara, using the Street View Trekker technology, for the first time in India, or marvel at the Nagarjuna Konda Buddhist Stupas, in Andhra Pradesh and relive the history of Fatehpur Sikri as it was in the time of Emperor Akbar, said the organisers.

3 Besides viewing what lies inside the monuments, the organisers of this programme claim that with this device people all over the world will be able to understand India’s heritage and culture better. Thus before making up their minds about the part of India they would like to go to, they can take a virtual walk around its historical sites before coming to a firm decision.

4. According to the Google experts, a virtual view of the monument allows viewers to see the monument to the extent that is permitted at the actual site, by the authorities of the Archeological Survey of India. In this way, one can have visited many a place in India without actually taking the trouble of booking a trip to see these places. In short, it is as close to the real thing as one can possibly get.
