attributes, at all scales, that are intrinsically important sites,
or culturally important sites, that offer information or

The derivation of the
term Geoheritage is from geological
heritage which in turn is derived
from heritage. Whilst the term
geological heritage was first
mentioned at the First International
Symposium on the Conservation of
our Geological Heritage at Digne,
France in 1991, the first reference to
geoheritage was at the Malvern

recognized by the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as
of 2014. These are places of importance
of cultural or natural heritage as described in the
UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in
1972. The Convention concerning the protection of
the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was
adopted on 17 November 1997 following the
General Conference of the UNESCO held from 17
October 1972 to 21 November 1972. India’s first
two sites inscribed on the list at the Seventh Session
of the World Heritage held in 1983 were the Agra
Fort and the Ajanta Caves

6. Over the years, 30 more sites have been
inscribed, the latest being the Great Himalayan
National Park in 2014.[4] Of these 32 sites, 25
are cultural sites and the other seven are natural
sites. A tentative list of further sites/properties
submitted by India for recognition includes 51
sites. The cultural sites in India are marked by
their brilliant craftsmanship on stone. Most of
the temples of India which are inscribed on this
list are built in stone, without any mortar and
with sculpture carved on it.
