This question requires evaluating three statements about recent recognitions by UNESCO concerning creative cities and intangible cultural heritage. Let's examine each statement:
Statement 1: Kozhikode as 'City of Music'
Fact Check: In October 2023, UNESCO announced the addition of 55 new cities to its Creative Cities Network. Among the Indian cities included, Kozhikode (also known as Calicut) was designated as a 'City of Literature'. It was not recognized as the 'City of Music'.
Conclusion: Statement 1 is incorrect.
Statement 2: Garba of Gujarat as Intangible Cultural Heritage
Fact Check: In December 2023, UNESCO inscribed the traditional dance form 'Garba' of Gujarat onto its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This recognizes Garba as a significant living cultural practice.
Conclusion: Statement 2 is correct.
Statement 3: Gwalior as 'City of Literature'
Fact Check: Similar to Kozhikode, Gwalior was also part of the 2023 UNESCO Creative Cities Network announcement. However, Gwalior was designated as a 'City of Music', not 'City of Literature'.
Conclusion: Statement 3 is incorrect.
