Heritage enthusiasts celebrate history and heritage via virtual platforms

As we approach World Heritage Day on April 18, local communities curate online conversations to connect and celebrate Indian heritage and culture despite the pandemic

This is the year of the Heritage Olympiad. Start-ups which seem to have hit upon an interesting blend of commerce and culture to connect with audiences despite the ongoing pandemic and its many challenges, are now creating apps that promote virtual tours of places and museums. At Culture, a heritage and culture start-up co-founded by Anjchita B Nair, a Heritage Olympiad, an online quiz with questions based on Indian heritage and culture, perhaps the first of its kind in India, is being planned on April 18 to coincide with World Heritage Day.
