“There is no greater wealth than wisdom, no greater poverty than ignorance; no greater heritage than culture and no greater support than consultation.” 1

Dear Students Our history is a reflection of our rich cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is the legacy of cultural resources and intangible attributes of a group or society that is inherited from past generations. Not all legacies of the past generations are \"heritage\", rather heritage is a product of selection by the society. Cultural heritage includes tangible culture - such as buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art and artifacts, intangible culture such as - folklore, traditions, language, and knowledge, and natural heritage including culturally significant landscapes, and biodiversity. Our culture reflects in us and is our identity & we need to preserve it for the next generation Let‟s explore & learn more about it - “India is a vast country: it contains multitudes” A country as diverse as India is symbolized by the diversity of its culture. The plurality and multiplicity of the Indian Culture is evident to the whole world as India has one of the world's largest collection of songs, music, dance, theatre, folk traditions, performing arts, rites and rituals, languages, dialects, paintings and writings. These are known as the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of humanity. India believes in the adage “Unity in Diversity.” People of different states are living together with different language, culture, and heritage. INSTRUCTIONS: a.
