An exhibition space with a modern architectural ceiling featuring triangular shapes and skylights. A large triangular banner with a portrait of a person wearing traditional attire hangs prominently. Below the banner, an illuminated display case holds several objects, including what appear to be helmets and historical artifacts. The walls display photographs and other framed items.

An inspiring initiative that preserves our rich heritage while promoting educational programs and tourism. Truly impactful!

A group of people are engaged in a traditional or ritualistic activity at a historical or cultural site. Shadows of trees and building details create an interplay of light and shadow. Some individuals appear to be holding incense sticks as smoke wafts into the air. The setting includes a stone floor and a structure with ornate architectural details in the background.

A group of people are gathered in a historical courtyard with ornate architectural details, including arches and sculptures. Several individuals are standing and conversing, while others are browsing through artwork displayed on easels. The atmosphere appears lively and social.
