Recently, the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) has been making efforts to obtain UNESCO recognition for the yearly ‘Paruveta Utsavam‘ (mock hunting festival) as an ‘intangible cultural heritage‘.
It is an annual mock hunting festival held at the Sri Narasimha Swamy temple in Ahobilam, Andhra Pradesh, India.
The festival serves as a testament to communal harmony. During this time, the deity from the inner sanctum of the temple is carried to the 32 Chenchu tribal settlements surrounding Ahobilam for a period of 40 days.
