Left out or changed by Shishya: 45 properties listed. Left out: Great Living Chola Temples (1987, 2004), Mountain Railways of India (1999, 2005, 2008) and Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Parks (1988, 2005) because the page prints more than one year (extensions); The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier (2016) because it is a transnational serial site; Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park (2004) to keep to 40 rows. Page prints no as-on date. Fetched with curl (browser user agent) because WebFetch got HTTP 403 from whc.unesco.org.
