World Heritage Day Celebration
India is one country that has been ruled by leaders from different
religious and cultural backgrounds, like Aryans, Guptas, Mughals,
Britishers, etc. And all of them have left their marks on the Indian soil, in the form of monuments and sites, that are protected and resurrected till date. World heritage day
has an important part to play in this colourful land, where you can
find huge tombs sprawling over the land, towers that are so high that
one can feel the sky and sites- so beautiful that keeps you mesmerized.
India has all of it and to maintain these monuments and keep them alive
for our upcoming generations, this day is celebrated to spread awareness
among the visitors to protect these priceless monuments.
