Abstract

India's rich cultural identity is reflected in its
festivals and culinary traditions. This research
develops an interactive web application to promote
and preserve India's regional food heritage through
a digital platform. TThe application features an
interactive map of India; selecting a state displays a
page with a popular traditional dish related to
regional festivals, including recipes, cultural
background, and images. Developed using HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript, the platform showcases web
development skills.. During preliminary user testing,
92% of participants found the interface to be user
friendly, while 87% reported learning new
information about Indian cuisine and cultural
practices. Additionally, 78% of users expressed
interest in revisiting the site for more recipes, and
81% rated the visual design as highly appealing.
These results indicate strong user engagement and
educational value. The project demonstrates the
potential of digital interfaces in preserving
intangible cultural heritage and enhancing cultural
literacy.
Future
multilingual
enhancements may include
support,
AI-driven
recipe
recommendations, and interactive voice assistance
to further enrich the user experience and expand
accessibility. This work effectively demonstrates how
web technologies can connect people with their
cultural roots through interactive and informative
experiences.
