Vadnagar, PM Modi's hometown, nominated for UNESCO heritage site
Vadnagar, the hometown of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat, was just nominated for preliminary assessment for UNESCO World Heritage status. Announced on September 17, coinciding with Modi's birthday, this move is part of India's push to highlight its rich cultural roots on the global stage. Vadnagar isn't just famous for its ties to Modi—it's been around since about 800-900 BCE.
