INGRAINED REALMS: EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION OF CULTURAL LANDSCAPES AND ARCHITECTURE

Architecture

Heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts (tangible heritage) and intangible attributes (intangible heritage) passed down through generations. Tangible heritage includes buildings, monuments, landscapes, and objects, while intangible heritage encompasses traditions, languages, knowledge, cultural practices, and customs. Heritage represents the collective identity and history of a society, serving as a means to preserve and transmit cultural, social, and historical values from the past to future generations. The aim of this research paper is to critically analyze the conservation strategies adopted in two different cultural sites located in two different parts of the India, one in metropolitan city and other in a village. In this paper, two cultural sites, Taj Mahal at Agra, India and Group of Monuments at Hampi, India, have been selected based on their Outstanding Universal Values. The main objective for selecting these two sites is that both are cultural sites, both have a strong historical and architectural background, and are inscribed in World Heritage Sites.
