Architecture is important in many facets of life and serves as historical documentation for the society and country. Many people have worked to promote the preservation of historical structures, particularly the preservation of the architectural style. Heritage can take on many different forms, including intangibles like memories, emotions, beliefs, and customs as well as tangible forms like sites, buildings, and landscapes. A significant artistic and cultural heritage is preserved in the religious and spiritual centers. The primary players in this heritage are only dimly aware of the value and significance of their cultural heritage in terms of history, culture, and civilization. This ignorance has resulted in improper upkeep and care for these structures. Threats to cultural heritage include rogue, unplanned modernization, and civic development that promotes tourism. Traditional architecture has been destroyed and restored or added to several heritage monuments using new materials without taking into account how well those materials work with the local climate. To bring the past into the future, it is now possible to capture and produce precise models of historical and archaeological sites thanks to recent advancements in three-dimensional (3-D) scanner technology and photogrammetric techniques. This allows you unlimited access to these locations, which is immensely advantageous from both a research and cultural standpoint. Virtual collections are formed in great numbers through the virtualization process. These collections are archives that have been monitored and restored as needed thanks to extensive indexing and visualization basis for the long-term protection of cultural assets presented in this essay. As modern documentation demands have recognized the potential of BIM in recent years, the article also intends to illustrate the development and current state of the usage of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the field of cultural heritage documentation. The study examines the necessity of maintaining sustainability in conservation efforts to preserve the region's priceless cultural heritage.
