Author(s) Sreevidya G.

Abstract UNESCO created the MOW register in 1992 to list the documentary heritage that met the world significance criteria. The criteria are influence, time, place, people, subject, form and style, social value, integrity, and rarity of the material. India also occupies a distinct position in documentation as it holds important clues to intellectual traditions. It can be categorized as (1) Sanskrit Manuscripts, (2) Documents submitted by India, and (3) Documents that hold matters about India. With state-of-the-art technology, wider accessibility of the items inscribed on the Register is ensured. It examines the Indian heritage recognized and documented globally between 1997 and 2017 with special significance to Sanskrit Manuscripts.

The Śaiva Manuscript, The collection of Ṛgveda Manuscripts, Laghukālacakratantrarāja ṭīkā, Śāntināthacarita, and Maitreyavyākaraṇa are the Sanskrit Manuscripts included in Memory of World. Vedic chanting, Kūṭiyāṭṭam and Rāmalīlā, are also recognized as the Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
