Handwritten Marathi Character Dataset in Devanagari Script

This dataset consists of handwritten Marathi characters written in the Devanagari script. All samples were collected manually and scanned at 300 DPI resolution. Each image is preprocessed and converted into a 28×28 grayscale format for consistency and compatibility with deep learning models.
The dataset is designed to support research in Optical Character Recognition (OCR), character recognition, and pattern classification tasks. It provides a valuable resource for training and evaluating models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs).
This dataset aims to contribute to the development of efficient recognition systems for the Marathi language and promote research in regional language processing using the Devanagari script.
