India has added seven natural and picturesque locations to Unesco’s tentative list of World Heritage Sites — a crucial first step toward their potential formal recognition on the global heritage register.

With these additions, the country’s count in the tentative list has risen from 62 to 69 properties. The Ministry of Culture said that after this inclusion, India now has 49 cultural, 17 natural, and three mixed heritage properties listed on the Unesco list.
