WEST ZONE CULTURAL CENTRE West Zone Cultural Centre (WZCC) with its headquarters at Udaipur is one of the seven Zonal Cultural Centres set up during 1986-87, under the direct initiative of the Government of India. West Zone Cultural Centre is a registered society established during 1986. The Cultural Centre is set up to provide facilities for the creative development of performing arts, visual arts, literary work, folk, traditional and tribal art forms in the Western region of India. It comprises of the States of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa and the Union Territories of Daman, Diu and Dadra Nagar Haveli and is probably culturally and ethnically most diverse, stretching as it does from the deserts of historic Rajasthan to Goa on the Arabian Sea, with its memories of Portuguese rule. Its logo in orange has 'W' nicely placed to create a pattern, which depicts a stone ‘jaffri’ or windows, which is prevalent in the architecture of this region.
