01 Establishment of Museum
Our primary project is to establish a museum dedicated to history, arts and culture. We plan to establish a state-of-the-art museum showcasing coins, seals, terracotta artifacts, stamps, match boxes, artifacts, beads, natural stones, mineral and other collectibles. . Our aim is to build a museum in at least 20000 square feet (~1/2 acres) in central India.
The project involves:
Purchase and Acquisition of Land
Building a plan of architecture & construction
Establishment and Development of Building
Setting up of Display Gallery, Community Hall & Exhibition Hall
Setting up Library and other amenities
02 New Book: Coins of Divine Shiva
After the immense success of our first book "City-State Coins of Ancient India", we are currently working on a bilingual book (English & Hindi) focusing on coins and historical artifacts depicting God Shiva and his stories. It will include genuine stories from the holy Shiv Purana and will have coins depicting these stories.
It is an ode to the supreme God Shiva and Eternal Hinduism. This book is my ode to the prosperity, wisdom, heritage, scientific knowledge of ancient India and my goal with this book is to lay a foundation in the preservation of Indian heritage. My approach with this book is to showcase the history as I have read, grasped and understood over the years of my pursuit to unravel the mysteries of ancient India. The core of the book is Indian in origin and the coins showcased in this book have been meticulously selected from my personal collection and are of extreme rarity and topnotch conditions.
03 Translation of Ancient Languages
Historical evidences such as coins, artifacts typically have legends written on them in ancient languages. It is relatively difficult for enthusiasts to decipher and comprehend these ancient texts without an expert in those languages. Numismatic Research Trust is working on providing simple translation guides of such languages to modern languages.
Our project involves:
Photography of ancient languages which are found on coins, caves, monuments, artifacts
Translating them to modern day languages such as English and Hindi (to begin with)
04 Brahmi to Braille Translation
Our upcoming project is to help visually impaired people learn more about Brahmi. The project is aimed at translating ancient Brahmi language to Braille.
Braille is a tactile writing system used by visually impaired or people with low vision. We are working on algorithm which will capture the Brahmi legends and provide English and Hindi translations which will then be converted to Braille language system and vice-versa.
05 Podcast History Series
We're working on launching a podcast to share the stories from history:
Empires,
Kingdoms,
Kings and their reigns,
Wars,
Geopolitics and Heritage
06 New Book: Who was King Vikram-Aditya
Vikram-Aditya is one of the known figures of Indian literature and has been named as one of the most powerful kings that have taken birth in India. Despite this, his time-period and reign have been debatable. Our upcoming book will provide documented factual evidence of who was the King Vikramaditya and also provide supporting evidences of his reign, stories, related places and inscriptions.
