The sacred Piprahwa relics of Bhagwan Buddha has returned to India after 127 long years.
This has been welcomed by many Buddhists,artists and historians. Even PM Narendra Modi has called it a proud and joyous moment for the nation’s rich cultural heritage.
“These sacred relics highlight India’s close association with Bhagwan Buddha and his noble teachings. It also illustrates our commitment to preserving and protecting different aspects of our glorious culture. #VikasBhiVirasatBhi”, wrote PM Modi on X.
“It may be recalled that the Piprahwa relics were discovered in 1898 but were taken away from India during the colonial period. When they appeared in an international auction earlier this year, we worked to ensure they returned home. I appreciate all those who have been involved in this effort.”
