Kurukshetra is a city where ancient mythology meets modern education. The National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra (NIT Kurukshetra) is one of North India's most respected engineering institutions, consistently ranked among the top NITs nationally. Kurukshetra University, a state university established in 1956, serves as the affiliating university for hundreds of colleges across Haryana, offering programmes from arts and sciences to engineering and management.
The city's identity is deeply rooted in the Mahabharata, with Brahma Sarovar, Jyotisar (where the Bhagavad Gita was delivered), and the Kurukshetra Panorama and Science Centre drawing pilgrims and history enthusiasts. The Haryana government has been developing Kurukshetra as a heritage tourism destination, creating opportunities for immersive virtual documentation.
Golden Globe Technologies serves Kurukshetra with 360-degree campus tours for NIT Kurukshetra and the university, heritage documentation of Mahabharata sites, drone photography of the sacred tanks and pilgrimage circuit, and virtual tours for the growing hospitality sector catering to tourists and visiting academics.
