Cultural Identity and Heritage Preservation in The Context of Rapid Urbanization: Temple of Vishnu, Manipur

Author(s) Ms. Leitanthem Sushimi Devi, Dr. Pushparaj Singh
Country India
Abstract The Vishnu Temple in Manipur, built in 1467 CE, is a significant cultural and spiritual landmark embodying the region's history and identity. Its construction marked a pivotal moment in Manipur's Vaishnavite history, blending Hinduism with local traditions. Today, rapid urbanization in the area poses substantial threats to the temple's preservation, mirroring a global trend where development encroaches upon heritage sites.
The temple's historical and architectural significance reflects a fusion of indigenous and external styles. It serves as a spiritual hub and a repository of intangible cultural heritage, including oral traditions and art forms. However, this cultural heritage faces challenges such as lack of awareness, environmental degradation, and insufficient maintenance.
Preservation efforts necessitate a multi-faceted approach. Drawing parallels with the Jagannath Temple in Odisha, strategies encompassing governmental initiatives, community participation, and sustainable tourism management with proactive legal frameworks, enhanced community engagement, and the integration of modern conservation techniques are crucial. Sustainable tourism can generate funds for preservation but must be balanced with the temple's sanctity.
The Vishnu Temple stands as a symbol of Manipuri identity, reflecting the region's historical evolution and cultural adaptability. Balancing development with heritage conservation is essential, requiring the integration of heritage preservation into urban planning. A collaborative effort involving government agencies, local communities, and international organizations is vital to ensure the temple's enduring legacy.
Keywords Vishnu Temple, Cultural Identity, Urbanization, Heritage Preservation.
