The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has declared the Durga Puja festival in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, a World Heritage Site.
The recognition was given as Intangible
Cultural Heritage at the 16th session of the Intergovernmental Committee of the
organization on Wednesday (December 15).
This session is being held every year with the participation
of hundreds of representatives from different countries, NGOs, and cultural
organizations.
There is no pair of Durgotsab in this subcontinent. In almost
every state of India including West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam, Bengalis gather
for this festival.
This festival is celebrated in Bangladesh every year with
great pomp. The West Bengal government has applied to UNESCO for international
recognition of the festival this year.
Durga Puja light
up the best aspects of our culture and tradition. Everyone should have the
experience of observing Durga Puja.
