Now this eternal value inherited from our ancestors will never be lost, Bakshi art is now under the protection of the international community, now a solid foundation has been laid for the continuation and development of the Bakshi tradition.

It is no exaggeration to say that this wonderful event is a logical continuation of the efforts made by the Head of our country to preserve and develop the art of bakhshi.

At the moment, the number of our intangible cultural heritage sites, included in the UNESCO list, has reached to 10. Previously, the list included the cultural space of Boysun, classical music Shashmakom, Katta ashula, the art of Askia, Navruz, culture and traditions of pilaf, Margilan center for the development of crafts: sewing adras and atlas, Khorezm dance - Lazgi, art of miniature based on national and international presentation.
