Cultural Heritage

Culture Heritage that India has gifted to the world is also prosperous rich and varied. Culture heritage is man-made heritage. Whatever man obtains or creates with his intellect, skills is called culture heritage.

The people of India, from the pre-history period, have contributed to the people of the world. For e.g.  sculpture is a 5000 years old ancient art. The remains of Indus valley civilization is evidence of this. The remains of the figures of Gods and Goddesses, human figures, animal and several toys as well as sculpture of a man with beard and the statue of a dancer are the examples of rich culture heritage and their contribution to the world.

Futher when we look at the bullock or lion on an inverted lotus of Mauryan Era, the statue of Gautam Buddha in a meditative mood, or the statues of jain saint and the caves of Ajanta Ellora etc. (prepared by kings), we feel gladdened and proud and we show a great respect and reverence for our culture heritage.

Palaces, buildings, sculptures stupas, ‘Viharas’ ‘Chaitya’, temples, mosques, tombs, domes forts, gates, etc all these architectural monuments is a part of our culture heritage. Even the historical places of our freedom movement can also be considered as a part of out culture heritage.

This culture heritage should not only be conserved and preserved but also developed by the people of India age after age. As a result, the continuity of our culture heritage has been maintained. This has made Indian culture beautiful, charming and pleasing. Simultaneously,  it has also bestowed India a prestigious place.
