The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has enabled online ticket booking for over 170 centrally protected monuments and museums on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). The Ministry of Culture in a statement said that by integrating ASI’s ticketing system onto an open digital network, citizens and tourists can book tickets through different applications. This improves accessibility and convenience, while strengthening the transparent and efficient delivery of public services through interoperable digital systems. It added that visitors booking tickets for ASI Monuments through ONDC-enabled applications can continue to enjoy existing benefits like five rupees discount for Indian visitors and fifty rupees for foreign nationals. Online booking also enables visitors to bypass physical ticketing queues at monuments and museums, ensuring faster and smoother entry.
