The sacred relics of Lord Buddha, the Devnimori relics, are set to return to India today after a week-long public exhibition at the revered Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo. These holy relics, which were taken abroad for their first international exhibition, will be escorted back by a high-level Indian delegation led by the Governor of Madhya Pradesh, Mangubhai Patel, and the Deputy Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Chowna Mein, along with senior Buddhist monks and officials. A large number of devotees from across Sri Lanka visited the Gangaramaya Temple during the seven-day exhibition to pay homage to the relics, marking the event as a major spiritual and cultural milestone. The exhibition was inaugurated by Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, and Sri Lankan leaders described it as a blessing for the people of the country, while thanking Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people of India. This historic exhibition has strengthened the centuries-old spiritual and civilizational ties between India and Sri Lanka, and has reinforced India's role as a custodian of global Buddhist heritage.
