The latest Indian art and culture news is, UNESCO has listed
Chandigarh’s Capitol Complex and Khangchendzonga National Park in the
world heritage sites. The decision regarding this was taken by the 40th
session of the world heritage committee of UNESC,O which was held in
Istanbul, Turkey. KNP has been added to the list because it exhibits the
qualities of both cultural and natural significance. KNP has now become
the first ‘mixed heritage site’ from India. It covers 25% area of the
Sikkim and is said to home to a significant number of endemic, rare and
threatened species and plants.
The park also includes the unique diversity of the animals, plants, plains, lakes, glaciers and snow capped mountains which are covered with ancient forests. KNP is truly an example of traditional knowledge and environmental preservation. On the other hand, Chandigarh’s Capitol Complex was also added in the Transnational Category. The Capitol Complex of Chandigarh was designed by Swiss French architecture- Le Corbusier. The site has been added to the list in recognition of Le Corbusier’s architectural works in the different parts of the world. The Chandigarh’s capitol complex was designed by the Swiss French architecture as a symbol of the modern and independent India.
In the 40th session of the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO, three sites from India were inscribed in the list. Earlier, Bihar’s Nalnda University was also added in the list. Now, India has become the first country to get their three sites inscribed in the world heritage list at a single session. With this, India has now 35 heritage sites, including 27 cultural heritage sites, 7 natural sites and 1 mixed site. This is truly a moment of pride for India to get their three sites inscribed in the world heritage list. To know more Indian art and culture news, stay connected with us.
