    Quite a few of this sites Indian members post about "yatras," which are Hindu spiritual pilgrimages, and the Modi government has been investing millions in renovating Hindu temples and promoting religious tourism to them - and this also ties into its controversial Hindu-centric agenda.

    I´m a big UNESCO World Heritage geek, and while India already had a whopping 40 sites, I see that on the list of 42 new sites for 2023 it added two more, one ancient and one newer. The newer dates from the early 20th century, an educational centre in the West Bengal countryside called Santiniketan, "based on ancient Indian traditions and a vision of the unity of humanity transcending religious and cultural boundaries". The other is a trio of 12th- and 13th-century Hoysala Hindu temples in the southern state of Karnataka.
