Abstract: India being a country with great cultural diversities has a number of historical towns that have been very significant in the annals of the country. Sometimes their features include unique architectural structures, cultural activities, and historical background; however, these towns experience numerous difficulties in the contemporary world. Their cultural identity is under threat due to the effects of speedy urbanization, societal disregard, and shift in social status. Thus, the aim of this research is to discover how to restore and maintain the character and identity of these historical towns while promoting sustainable development. This research paper aims to bring out the historical importance of Sindkhedraja, the present day issues that have let it lose its identity and how it can be revived in the state of Maharashtra. Famous for its historical background and its historical connections with Jijabai, the mother of Maratha king Shivaji, Sindkhedraja holds a prestigious position in the Indian history. The goal of this paper is to focus on the historical significance of this town, discuss the causes of the situation that it is in now, and present long term measures that could be taken to resurrect the town.
Keywords: Heritage Conservation, Cultural Identity, Sustainable Tourism, Urban Renewal.
