It also marks <strong>Lakshmi Puja<\/strong>, where devotees worship the Goddess of Wealth for prosperity and well-being. Over centuries, the festival has integrated regional traditions \u2014 including Gujarati <em>Garba nights<\/em>, South Indian <em>Kali Puja<\/em>, and Jain and Sikh observances \u2014 making it a <strong>pan-Indian cultural phenomenon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list, established in 2003, aims to safeguard living traditions that define community identities. India has actively participated in UNESCO\u2019s programs for decades, securing inscriptions for practices like <strong>Yoga (2016), Kumbh Mela (2017), Durga Puja (2021),<\/strong> and many others.
