after the launch of the site (http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/ ) 2 days it was down due to over load of traffic. overnight another site by the name http://bhuvan2.nrsc.gov.in/
was created and started to operate. by this time only one site exists http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/
and its fully working.this was what the confusion is. u can download the plugin called terraexplorer ,once opened the site in IE u can see the 3d globe...
