Search, browse and download open-access satellite imagery from ISRO's Bhoonidhi portal directly inside QGIS.
A QGIS front-end for the bhoonidhi-downloader library (https://github.com/geovicco-dev/bhoonidhi-downloader,
MIT license). Log in with your Bhoonidhi credentials (never stored to disk --
the session lives only in memory for the current QGIS session and is
discarded on close), pick a direct-download satellite/sensor, set a date
range and a spatial filter (manual bounding box or a drawn rectangle),
search the archive, preview georeferenced scene quicklooks on the map,
and download selected scenes. Each search is saved as a revisitable
"query" for the session and cleaned up automatically when QGIS closes.
External dependency: the bhoonidhi-downloader PyPI package (needs Python 3.10+,
i.e. QGIS 3.34 or newer). The plugin installs it automatically with pip into
your user Python folder the first time it runs (internet needed, no admin
rights) and confirms with an "All dependencies resolved" message. If that
fails it tells you why and how to install it manually; the plugin re-checks
each time QGIS starts (or you click its toolbar icon) and tries again
automatically. Works with QGIS 3.34 through 4.x.
