Ramalaya and JPSR Prabhu Shriram Celebrate UNESCO’s Honour for India’s Festival of Light
New Delhi: India has marked a major cultural achievement with UNESCO officially adding Deepavali, the Festival of Light, to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
UNESCO’s recognition shows that Deepavali is not just a festival but a tradition that brings people together. It celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Deepavali has been celebrated for thousands of years and is an important part of India’s spiritual and cultural history. India’s Ambassador to UNESCO, Shri Vishal V. Sharma, played a key role in making this recognition possible.
Ramalaya and its cultural fragrance brand JPSR Prabhu Shriram are proud of this recognition. Both brands focus on Indian spirituality, stories, and heritage. They share India’s sacred traditions with people all over the world. From the Ramayana Collection to temple-inspired incense, Ramalaya celebrates the values and stories that Deepavali represents.
Prashant Kumar, CMD of Mode Retails and Founder of Ramalaya & JPSR Prabhu Shriram, said, “UNESCO’s recognition of Deepavali shows how important India’s spiritual heritage is today. We are committed to preserving and sharing India’s culture through fragrances, stories, and experiences. This inspires us to bring India’s cultural luxury to the world.”
Looking ahead, Ramalaya plans to reach more people globally. They will create new storytelling experiences, expand their fragrance collections, open more stores at Indian airports and international cultural centers, and work with tourism bodies and Indian communities worldwide. This recognition marks a proud moment for India and a new beginning for sharing its culture with the world.
