Digital Heritage of Asian Buddhist Caves Using Cultural Computing and AI: Special Reference to Ajanta Caves

A novel approach combining cultural computing and artificial intelligence (AI) has been developed to preserve, restore, and digitally experience the rich heritage of Ajanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its Buddhist religious art. The study successfully created a 3D reconstructed model of Cave 1 and restored a damaged image of Bodhisattva Padmapani, demonstrating the potential of these technologies in safeguarding cultural heritage. This method leverages scientific techniques to represent and analyze cultural elements such as emotion and narrative, offering a more immersive and accessible way to engage with historical artifacts without physical interaction.
