The decision was taken during the 47th session of the World Heritage Committee (WHC) held in Paris.
Modi said in a post on ‘X’, “When we talk about the glorious Maratha Empire, we add it to good governance, military power, cultural pride and social welfare. The great rulers inspire us with their courage not to bow down to any injustice.
He said, “Every Indian is excited by this honor. These ‘Maratha Military Landscapes’ include 12 grand forts of which 11 are in Maharashtra and one in Tamil Nadu. ”
