Introduction

India, often described as a subcontinent within a country, has a cultural heritage that is both rich and diverse. This heritage reflects the country's deep and varied history. From the ancient Indus Valley Civilization to the vibrant culture of today, India's story is one of blended traditions, beliefs, and arts, shaped by its many ethnic groups and religions. Each cultural artefact in India is a piece of the country's collective memory, connecting the present to the past. However, in today's globalized world, preserving this heritage comes with challenges. Efforts to conserve and interpret cultural artefacts must keep pace with the pressures of modernization. Despite these challenges, India's cultural legacy continues to be a source of unity and strength, transcending the bounds of time.
