UNESCO World Heritage Site Designation in India 2018
In 2018, the 'Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai' was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- This designation recognizes the unique architectural style and urban ensemble representing a significant phase in India's urban development.
- The site comprises 94 buildings, including key public buildings, residences, and gardens, primarily located in South Mumbai.
- It highlights the blend of Victorian revival styles with 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture and 20th-century Art Deco styles.
The other options listed are also significant Indian landmarks but were not the sites designated by UNESCO in 2018:
- Konark Sun Temple: Designated in 1984.
- Dachigam National Park: Not a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Lalbagh Botanical Garden: Not a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Therefore, the Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai is the correct answer for the 2018 designation.
