“New inscription on the @UNESCO #WorldHeritage List: Maratha Military Landscapes of India, #India,” UENSCO said.
The nomination for UNESCO tag was for the 2024-25 cycle.
Its 12 components are – Salher Fort, Shivneri Fort, Lohgad, Khanderi Fort, Raigad, Rajgad, Pratapgad, Suvarnadurg, Panhala Fort, Vijay Durg, and Sindhudurg in Maharashtra, and Gingee Fort in Tamil Nadu.
