We present a novel application of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for the large-scale archival of thousands of temples in Bali. Our project, the Bali Digital Heritage Initiative, adopts a participatory approach in which local communities collect video footage of these vulnerable temples, which we transform into 3DGS scenes to serve as digital archives.

This position paper is part of Darmawiguna's PhD.While mixed reality technology offers promising opportunities to make digitized heritage sites globally accessible for education and cultural reconnection, there is a gap in empirical research on the ethical implications and real-world impact of representing sacred cultural sites in foreign contexts.
