Cultural heritage of a society consists of both tangible and intangible assets that reflect the shared history and identity of its people. Tangible heritage includes historical monuments, traditional crafts, architecture, and even culinary recipes. Intangible heritage might encompass local festivals, traditional dances, music forms, and community practices. Grasping the significance of these elements aids in valuing and safeguarding the cultural identity of a community, ensuring that future generations can appreciate and learn from this rich heritage.
