Yoga has got the global recognition as it was
inscribed in the UNESCO’s representative list as the Intangible cultural
Heritage of Humanity. The Decision was taken during the 11th session
of the intergovernmental committee for the safeguarding of the Intangible
cultural Heritage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The committee has also recognised Belgium’s Beer
Culture and Cuba’s Rumba Dance as the Intangible cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Yoga is the 13th Intangible cultural
Heritage to be listed from India by UNESCO.
About Intangible Cultural Heritage:
It is established by UNESCO with the aim of better
protection of important intangible cultural heritages across world and the
awareness of their significance. Intangible Cultural Heritage not only includes
monuments and objects but also includes the traditions or living expression
inherited from ancestors and passed to our descendants.
