After Telangana's Ramappa Temple, now Harrapan city Dholavira in Gujarat gets UNESCO's World Heritage site tag

Reacting to the development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he was 'absolutely delighted' by this news and also shared some of his pictures when he visited Dholavira as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.

New Delhi: The Harrapan city 'Dholavira' in Gujarat on Tuesday (July 27, 2021) was inscribed on the UNESCO's World Heritage site list, just two days after Telangana's Ramappa Temple got the same recognition.  Dholavira which dates back to over 4500 years ago, is one of the two largest Harappan sites in India. It is also the fifth-largest in the subcontinent and has reportedly witnessed all the stages of the Harappan culture from about 2900 BC to 1500 BC. The UNESCO stated that the ancient city is one of the 'most remarkable' and 'well-preserved' urban settlements in South Asia.
