World Heritage Day, celebrated every April 18, honors the cultural and natural treasures recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It aims to raise awareness about preserving landmarks, traditions, and ecosystems of global significance.
Each year, the theme changes to spotlight different aspects of heritage conservation. Across the world, people mark the day with heritage walks, exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events, promoting the value of protecting our shared history.
India, with iconic sites like the Taj Mahal, Jaipur City, and the Sundarbans, actively engages in the celebrations, showcasing its diverse heritage.
Heritage goes beyond monuments—it includes languages, customs, and traditions that shape our identity. The day encourages everyone to reflect on their role in preserving cultural diversity.
