Monuments or groups of buildings and sites of universal aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethological, or anthropological value are referred to as cultural heritage. Cultural heritage refers to the features that cover people's way of life, such as customs, traditions, attire, eating habits, music, and dancing. The preservation and protection of these treasures is a vital function and responsibility of every government and citizen in the country. For the conservation and protection of these heritages, public education and awareness about the significant characteristics of these places is critical.
