Introduction Present status of Ashtapad temple is invisible and unknown. It is believed that it may be buried somewhere in the Mt. Kailash region. It has been suggested by experts involved in the project that advanced satellite and imagery and remote sensing techniques be used to explore further the nine or ten probable Ashtapad sites defined during the field visits. Images from satellite or space can be used to locate ruins in remote and inaccessible places on the planet. This chapter discusses the reports where these techniques have been employed to generate 3D images of the area surrounding Kailash and to obtain aerial photographs of the nine/ ten probable sites identified during these field trips. Dr. Thakker located many buried structures in Kailash area which he discusses in his article. A high resolution 3D video was obtained from Geo-Eye and was evaluated by Shashikant Sharma and Dr. Thakker. A 3D imagery is being presented in his article. We are also providing a 3D video in a DVD format dubbed with information. Various views of probable sites- Ashtapad and Nandi are given in the Photo Gallery.
