The ongoing 44th session of the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO will discuss India’s proposal to inscribe Dholavira, a Harappan-era metropolis, as a World Heritage Site (WHS) on July 27. Along with Dholavira, Hawaraman from Iran, Jomon from Japan, As-Salt from Jordan and Nice from France are in the race. The ongoing session has already gifted India a new WHS in the form of the Rudreswara/ Ramappa Temple in Telangana, which dates back to the 13th century.

Gujarat so far has three World Heritage Sites — Champaner near Pavagadh, Rani ki Vav in Patan and the historic city of Ahmedabad. The state and country are eyeing another bit of history in the making, experts said.
