Tangible Cultural Heritage of Odisha; A Special Focus on Boudh Royal Palace

Odisha's rich and diverse past is reflected in its culture and heritage. "Culture" is a word that has many meanings. In addition to being an item unique to a place or location, cultural heritage can also be found within a family, a people, or a group of individuals. There are two main categories to classify cultural heritage: Natural Heritage and Cultural Heritage. Further sub-categorising cultural heritage into Tangible and Intangible cultural heritage, tangible heritage is defined as anything that exists today and can be touched and/or stored. Tangible heritage can be further categorised into movable and immovable heritage; movable heritage includes items that can be moved from one location to another, such as books, clothes, and artworks, while immovable heritage typically comprises structures, including buildings, monuments, industrial sites, and similar items.
