The Asian region is the origin of various civilizations which can be considered ‘the world’s heritage’. The Asian identity created arts and cultural forms such as language and literature, music, performance arts, as well as rituals and ceremonies which show not only the power of beliefs but also the prosperous world of the mankind. In the rapidly changing world today, Asian arts and cultures have been moulded into contemporary forms where their strengths are retained and adapted. Today’s changes have made the arts and culture of Asia even more charming and interesting for such an era.
