World Heritage Day, observed on April 18, celebrates the importance of preserving cultural and natural heritage worldwide. The theme for 2025 is "Disaster and Conflict Resilient Heritage", emphasizing the need to protect historical sites from environmental and human-made threats. The day was first proposed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) in 1982 and later approved by UNESCO in 1983.

India, with 43 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, showcases its rich history through landmarks like the Taj Mahal, Hampi, and Ajanta Caves. The occasion is marked by heritage walks, educational events, and discussions on conservation efforts.
