Heritage Reconstruction

For any society, cultural heritage carries significance because it reflects collective consciousness, shared culture and values. It connects the present with the past and inspires the future. It can be categorised into tangible and intangible. Monuments, artworks, artefacts and historical sites provide insight into the ancestors' lifestyle, habits, deeds, feats and success. Similarly, ancient tales, performing arts, history books, and conventions signify the forbearers' consciousness, knowledge, and skills. Thus, heritage stands for dignity, identity and a sense of belonging for the people. Despite the huge importance of heritage, formidable challenges persist in preserving it. Natural disasters, fire, political upheavals, negligence, and disregard lead to the damage and loss of heritage.
