The objective of the heritage walk was to inculcate the values and emphasize the significance a heritage site achieves when elements of ‘sacredness’ and intangible heritage is attached to it. The dialogue also emphasised on how the lake of Sakkardara and the overall precinct is slowly fading and getting ignored in the overall transformation of the city.
