360° Virtual Tours
Look around heritage spaces and experience the environment from an immersive first-person viewpoint.
Heritage, preserved. Stories, experienced.
YAAZHAI is a heritage preservation initiative that uses immersive 360° VR experiences to bring historic places closer to people — wherever they are.
YAAZHAI combines heritage research, visual storytelling and immersive technology to document and share India's historic monuments. Instead of heritage being experienced only by those who can physically visit, YAAZHAI creates accessible digital experiences that can be explored from a phone, computer or VR headset.
“Enter the heritage. Look around. Discover the story.”
YAAZHAI • Heritage ExperiencesOur virtual tours use 360° photography to let you look around a heritage site naturally. Move through selected locations, examine architectural details and discover stories through interactive information.

The complete YAAZHAI heritage experience.
Heritage, built around your requirements.
Beginning with future YAAZHAI heritage experiences, purchasing a pass provides access to the YAAZHAI website, heritage information and eligible digital/VR experiences during the active validity period. A digital pass does not by itself grant physical entry to a monument or protected site; physical access remains subject to the relevant authority's rules and permissions. Guided-tour benefits apply only where specifically included in the selected plan.
YAAZHAI's current demonstration heritage experience focuses on the historic Mamandur Caves, bringing their history, architecture, inscriptions and 360° immersive experience together in one digital format.
The YAAZHAI Heritage Pass is valid for 3 months from the date of activation. The YAAZHAI Heritage Subscription is valid for 1 year from the date of activation. Validity is based on the activation date, not necessarily the date of purchase. Once the validity period expires, access to subscriber-only content and experiences will be discontinued unless renewed.
Each pass is intended for one registered user/account unless otherwise specified. Login credentials must not be shared, resold, transferred, or commercially distributed. YAAZHAI may restrict or suspend accounts involved in unauthorised sharing, misuse, or fraudulent activity. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials.
Pass holders receive access to the YAAZHAI website and eligible VR experiences available during their validity period. VR experiences may require a compatible smartphone, browser, headset or other supported equipment. Certain experiences may temporarily be unavailable due to technical maintenance, updates, photography, development, or other operational reasons. YAAZHAI does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of every experience at all times.
Any additional heritage site or experience officially introduced by YAAZHAI during the active validity period of a pass will be made available to eligible pass holders without requiring a separate access purchase, unless specifically stated otherwise.
YAAZHAI may update, improve, modify, replace or reorganise website content, VR experiences, features and educational material. Historical and archaeological content may be updated when new research, documentation or verified information becomes available. The availability of particular content may change as the platform develops.
For the 1-year subscription, the complimentary guided tour is limited to one tour per subscription period. The tour will be conducted at a monument selected/designated by YAAZHAI. The tour is subject to monument access, permissions, operating conditions, weather, safety requirements and availability. Prior booking/registration may be required. The complimentary tour does not automatically include transportation, accommodation, food, entry fees, photography fees, parking or other personal expenses, unless explicitly stated by YAAZHAI. If a tour cannot be conducted due to circumstances beyond YAAZHAI's reasonable control, YAAZHAI may offer a rescheduled date or an alternative eligible experience.
Heritage Subscription holders may receive priority consideration for newly introduced guided tours, events and heritage experiences, subject to availability, capacity and applicable permissions.
Users must follow the rules and instructions of the monument, authorities, guides and YAAZHAI representatives. Users must not damage, touch, climb on, deface or otherwise interfere with protected heritage structures or artefacts. Photography, recording and equipment use must comply with the rules applicable to the monument. YAAZHAI reserves the right to refuse participation in a tour where a participant's conduct creates a safety, security or heritage-preservation concern.
Guided tours must be cancelled or rescheduled within the period specified at the time of booking. Missed tours or late cancellations may be treated as the complimentary tour being utilised.
Passes are non-transferable unless YAAZHAI explicitly permits transfer. Passes cannot be resold or commercially redistributed. Promotional, complimentary or institutional passes may have additional restrictions.
Pre-registration is free, is not a purchase and creates no payment obligation; payment is requested only when a pass opens. Prices are as displayed at the time of purchase. Applicable taxes/charges, if any, will be communicated before payment. To purchase a pass, contact YAAZHAI by message/WhatsApp at +91 7010707493 or by email at yaazhai.in@gmail.com. YAAZHAI will provide the official QR code and further payment instructions. After payment, the payment screenshot must be submitted for verification; the pass will be activated only after payment confirmation. Renewal is not automatic unless YAAZHAI explicitly introduces and enables an auto-renewal option. Refund eligibility will be governed by YAAZHAI's applicable refund/cancellation policy and applicable law. Once a digital pass has been activated or used, refunds may be subject to restrictions disclosed at purchase.
