It descends from that register rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general Representative List record, or alongside another of its entries, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the register's own limit: an official designation record produced by the Intergovernmental Committee for the purpose of recognition and safeguarding, not a religiously neutral scholarly ethnography. Use it for this practice's inscription status, inscription year and the Committee's own stated description of it; a claim about its deeper history needs a source produced outside UNESCO.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (26 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1This is UNESCO's own inscription record for Sankirtana on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, issued by the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, an authoritative international institutional register, treated at the top tier as that primary record.NotesWell-attestedInscribed 2013 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, on India's nomination.
