This inclusion of Deepawali in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list is respected all across the country because it is a global achievement for India.

 P.M. Narendra Modi also tweeted on his Twitter regarding this. He said:

People in India and around the world are thrilled.

For us, Deepavali is very closely linked to our culture and ethos. It is the soul of our civilisation. It personifies illumination and righteousness. The addition of Deepavali to the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List will contribute to the festival’s global popularity even further.

May the ideals of Prabhu Shri Ram keep guiding us for eternity.

As an honor to celebrate Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday, the first World Art Day was celebrated on April 15, 2012. He is a symbol of world peace, freedom of expression, tolerance, and brotherhood, and a testament to the influence of the Fine Arts on other fields.
