Explanation:

Recently, Durga Puja in Kolkata has been inscribed on the UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of Humanity.

• It is the first festival in Asia to achieve recognition as UNESCO ICH of Humanity.
• Durga Puja is a five-day festival which begins on the fifth night of the nine-day Navratri festival and ends on the tenth day, which is Dashami.
• During this time, people collectively worship and invoke Goddess Durga, who is regarded as the feminine energy of the cosmos, also known as ‘Shakti’.
• It is one of the largest cultural carnivals and street art festivals of the country.

UNESCO Intangible Heritage List

• This coveted list is made up of those intangible heritage elements that help demonstrate diversity of cultural heritage and raise awareness about its importance. The list was established in 2008 when the Convention for Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage came into effect.
• The list is made up of those intangible heritage elements that help demonstrate diversity of cultural heritage and raise awareness.
• It not only represents the inherited traditions from the past but also contemporary rural and urban practices. This list also encompasses living expressions and traditions.
• Intangible cultural heritage means the skills, knowledge, expressions, representations, practices – as well as the artifacts, objects, instruments, and cultural spaces associated with them that various groups, communities and in certain cases individuals recognize as a part of their cultural heritage.
• This list is published by the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Its members are elected by State parties meeting in the United Nations General Assembly.
• It aims at drawing attention to the importance of safeguarding cultural heritage and is a repository of cultural diversity and creative expression.

Hence both statements are correct.
