Udaipur will play host to the fourth edition of World Living Heritage Festival (WLHF) from 17-20 Oct.

The 4th World Living Heritage Festival (WLHF) 2018 aims to explore the relationship between tangible and intangible heritage through inquiries into association of oral history, rites and rituals with historic spaces, be it temples, monuments, museums or public squares in the cities.

The conference will host three plenary sessions with the focal questions of a) Towards an Asian approach to Heritage b) Rethinking temples – An exploration of Agamashastra and everyday Indian experiences & c) Stories

Different sessions of the festival will lead-up to a joint publication by Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) and UNESCO New Delhi. This publication, a compendium of best practices in conservation of built and intangible heritage, will record some of the benchmark examples for experiencing and continuing living heritage and will provide guidelines for living heritage spaces and areas across Asia.

Each day of the festival will address these questions within the ambit of a different subtheme – intangible heritage vis-à-vis (i) monuments, museums, and historical sites, (ii) temples, and (iii) public spaces. Each day’s performances, panel discussions, workshops, and heritage walks/trails will be inter-linked by one of the subthemes and set in venues that are themselves iconic living monuments, temples, and public spaces in the city of Udaipur.
