Issues & Pull Request

Optimize Map SVG

1. **Smooth Zooming:** - Currently, when zooming in or out on the map, the screen freezes, particularly on low-end devices. We need to optimize the zooming functionality to ensure a smooth and fast experience across all devices. - Implement a solution to make zooming operations smoother, ensuring that users can interact with the map seamlessly without experiencing freezes or delays. 2. **Enable Dragging Left to Right with Mouse Pointer:** - Users should be able to drag the map horizontally using the mouse pointer when zoomed in. This functionality enhances the user experience, allowing for easier navigation across the map. - Implement mouse pointer drag functionality to enable users to scroll horizontally while zoomed in on the map. 3. **Optimize SVG for Faster Loading:** - Currently, the SVG map may take a significant amount of time to load, affecting the overall user experience. We need to optimize the SVG to reduce loading times and improve the efficiency of the map rendering process. - Explore techniques such as SVG optimization tools, reducing unnecessary details in the SVG file, and optimizing SVG rendering settings to ensure that the map loads quickly and efficiently. These optimizations will enhance the performance and user experience of the map, ensuring that users can interact with it smoothly, regardless of their device capabilities or network conditions. **SVG Map path** "src/assets/images/map-uttarakhand.svg" [URL](https://github.com/ajaynegi45/Uttarakhand-Culture-Preservation-Project/blob/main/src/assets/images/map-uttarakhand.svg)

Enhance contributing.md

The current CONTRIBUTING.md file lacks essential information about how newcomers can contribute to our project and may not be sufficiently clear.
