Architect deposits the Bhagwad Gita to Arctic doomsday vault

Architect Sunil Chitara used technology by Norwegian company Piql to ensure the epic’s survival.

The technology can secure digital data for up to 10000 years.

Says Ar. Sunil Chitara, “Currently, in India, the Holy Bhagwad Gita is preserved in both visual and digital format on film. This data is then deposited in the Artic World Archive to preserve the world’s memory for future generations.”

Chitara is now inviting museums, libraries and public archives to preserve their valuable data  on the PiqlFilm  which can be stored at their own premises as well. for preservation. He is also looking to archive designs and interiors of historically significant Indian buildings. This technology ensures that irrespective of any natural or manmade catastrophes that our human population might face, significant pieces of our history and culture will remain safe and untouched.

The Arctic World Archive is a library with a mission to protect historically and scientifically important world data in the event of a future cataclysmic disaster. Built deep inside an abandoned mine on the Arctic island of Svalbard, the library is open to submissions from around the globe. Set almost 500 feet below ground, the vault is protected from a nuclear attack. The surrounding permafrost is the ideal climate for long-term storage, so much so that even if the power failed, the temperature inside will remain below freezing, enough to preserve the vault’s contents for decades, maybe centuries.
