Celebrating India’s Glorious Heritage – April 18
Observed on April 18, this day promotes the importance of cultural heritage and the need to preserve monuments and historical sites globally.
India is home to 43 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, reflecting its rich history, architecture, and cultural diversity.
From the Taj Mahal to Hampi, and Qutub Minar to Kaziranga National Park, every site tells a unique story of India’s past.
Located in Agra, this 17th-century marble mausoleum is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and India’s most iconic monument.
Ruins of Vijayanagara Empire in Karnataka showcase temple architecture, boulder-strewn landscapes, and a glorious bygone era.
Khajuraho temples boast intricate carvings of deities, mythical creatures, and daily life, showcasing ancient Indian sculptural artistry.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) plays a key role in conserving India’s monuments, supported by laws and public awareness.
Explore local monuments with care, support heritage walks and restoration projects & spread awareness about the importance of cultural conservation.
Let’s honour India’s timeless legacy and pledge to protect our cultural treasures for future generations.
