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 userfriendly, 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.
