Devnimori Buddha Relics Displayed in Sri Lanka, Marking First International Exposition

The sacred Devnimori relics of Lord Buddha, originating from Gujarat's archaeological site, are on their first international exposition at Colombo's Gangaramaya Temple from February 4 to 11, 2026. The relics, previously preserved at Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, were brought to Sri Lanka following discussions between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. A high-level Indian delegation led by Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat accompanied the relics, which are open for public veneration, symbolizing deep civilisational and spiritual ties between India and Sri Lanka.
