A Study on Ancient Sustainable Culture and Festivals
Keywords:
Cultural sustainability, archive and museum sectors, organisational culture, subscription librariesAbstract
The world is seeing environmental upheaval in every corner of the globe. There seems to be a complete disconnect between humans and nature, which manifests itself in the form of climate change, global warming, and natural catastrophes. Although man himself is to blame for the situation, in that he is attempting to win the battle against nature in a reckless manner, his own life is in grave risk. Indian culture, one of the world's oldest surviving civilizations, has long had a strong belief in the need of living in harmony with nature. Our ancient literature is rich with examples in which human sensitivity to nature is extolled to the highest degree of perfection. For the most part, this study article focuses on environmentally sustainable ideas that the human race seems to have lost in the modern day. While the importance of cultural heritage in sustainable urban development has become increasingly recognised in policy frameworks at multiple levels, there is still a lack of understanding about how global and international goals are implemented in different parts of the world, particularly in developing countries.
