ABSTRACT

This study investigates the design of a real-time monitoring and preservation system for ancient Indian Buddhist stupas—Sanchi and Bharhut—through the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. In response to various threats such as climate change, microstructural damage, and biological erosion, the study analyzes the components and functions of IoT and explores domestic and international cases where IoT has been used for cultural heritage conservation. It further examines the historical background and current preservation challenges of the two stupa sites, proposing an integrated preservation model based on sensor-driven environmental monitoring and data-informed predictive systems. The study highlights the interdisciplinary potential of combining technology and the humanities for proactive and sustainable cultural heritage preservation and emphasizes the need for policy innovation. Future research may focus on field-based experimentation and the integration of AI-powered analysis for enhanced preservation outcomes.
