Odisha's Chief Minister has sought UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status for the Puri Rath Yatra, prompting renewed attention on India's existing ICH entries.
UPSC has repeatedly tested India's UNESCO heritage inscriptions with precise years in Match-the-Pairs format, rewarding exact recall over general familiarity with the list.
India's UNESCO ICH List includes Yoga (2016), Kumbh Mela (2017), Durga Puja of Kolkata (2021) and Garba of Gujarat (2023) - each inscription year is independently testable.
