Indian monuments: Not mere buildings but a symbol of our culture
The origin of the word "monument" comes from the Greek mnemosynon and the Latin moneo, monere, which means 'to remind', suggesting that monuments allows us to see the past thus helping us visualize what is to come in the future.
Monuments remind of one country’s culture and heritage. India is a country which is rich in culture and heritage and one of the prime duties of our government is to protect our monuments.
Indian monuments are also one of the reasons for high tourist visits to India.
Rediff labs analyses the number of visitors to centrally protected monuments in India and how much the revenue it generates for the government through the tickets to see these monuments.
The data has been taken from ministry of tourism. The visits to the monuments are classified as domestic tourist visits and foreign tourist visits.
