    ISSN No: 2455-734X (E-Journal) An Inter-Disciplinary National Peer & Double Reviewed e-Journal of Languages, Social Sciences and Commerce The Churning Uma Arts & Nathiba Commerce Mahila College, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India Cultural Tourism - A Study of Rann Utsav Prof. Payal Jayraj Pandya Uma Arts & Nahtiba Commerce Mahila College, Gandhinagar Introduction Culture is the life lived by a group of people living in a specific region and the patterning of it. The United Nations agency UNESCO has defined culture as the ―set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual, and emotional features of a society or a social group, and that it encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs.‖ (http://unesdoc.un esco.org) India‘s culture is among the world's oldest, civilization in India began about 4,500 years ago. Many sources describe it as "Sa Prathama Sanskrati Vishvavara" — the first and the supreme culture in the world, according to the All World Gayatri Pariwar (AWGP) organization. (http://www.livescience.com) Wyman states that culture plays important part in the society: "...In an economic climate where we hear so much about crisis in health and education, it is important to remember that culture, too, is an essential element of a healthy society. It's not an either-or situation. Health is necessary for life; culture makes life worth living...." (http://www.enugustatetourismboard.com) Tourism means a visit by an outsider to host culture and making an attempt to learn about the host culture through festivals, arts and crafts, sculpture and architecture, etc.

  • Background Context and Observation Recording
    BACKGROUND CONTEXT AND OBSERVATION RECORDING 1. PROJECT BACKGROUND Community forests dedicated to one or more deities worshipped by the community and therefore are termed sacred groves or forests. These are one of the most valuable, primitive practices of nature conservation. Sacred groves are the relict climax communities preserved by the local people for certain beliefs. Such forests are rich in biological diversity and harbor many rare and endangered plant and animal species. An inextricable link between present society and past in terms of biodiversity, culture, religious and ethnic heritage exists in these sacred groves (Khurana, 1998). Sacred groves are distributed across the globe, and diverse cultures recognize them in different ways encoding various rules for their protection. These have been a source of natural wealth like fodder, fuel, timber, berries, roots and herbs and are regarded as a ‘symbol of prosperity’ for the community that owned it. Moreover, sacred groves play an important role in promoting a flourishing livestock based economy and growth of livestock rearing communities. Cultural aspects such as religion, faith and traditions bring people closer to nature and the natural environment. Memorial Parks and Sacred Groves are examples of two such cultural landscapes that exist today also (Pruthi and Burch, 2009). There are examples from Asia, Africa and Europe (WWF, 2005), where natural phenomenon have been termed as ‘sacred’ and worshipped. These are types of natural sites like rivers, lakes, forests, gardens, groves or even a tree, that have been institutionalized by attachment of sacred values with intensions to make a collective management easy and sustainable. In India, Hinduism has grown out of the merger of local traditions that have been intertwined with nature (Chandra and Gadgil, 1998).
