India will soon send relics of the Buddha, discovered in Devni Mori in northern Gujarat, to Thailand for an exposition.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced this after bilateral talks with Thailand Prime Minister Paentongtran Shinawatra at the Government House here.<\/p>\n
“I am extremely happy to announce that the Holy Relics found in Aravali, Gujarat in 1960 will also be sent to Thailand for an exposition,” Modi said after he received a copy of the 108 volumes of Tipitaka, the revered collection of Buddhist scriptures, in Pali language, from Paetongtarn.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister noted that the Holy Relics of Lord Buddha were sent from India to Thailand last year.<\/p>\n
“It is a matter of great pleasure that more than four million devotees got the opportunity to pay their tributes,” he said.<\/p>\n
The Devni Mori relics were found during excavations at the mound known as ‘Bhoja Raja No Terkro’ or the courtyard of King Bhoja in 1960.<\/p>\n
The dig suggested this was the location of a Mahastupa – the big stupa surrounded by monasteries or viharas buried in the adjoining fields.<\/p>\n
The stupa was 37 feet high with a base rammed with pebbles, brickbats, kankar and yellow silt.<\/p>\n
The excavators found a casket made of green schist, with inscriptions on the body and lid, at the lowest level of the stupa.<\/p>\n
Inside the stone casket was a copper box which contained the sacred relics of Buddha. The inscription on the casket mentions Buddha as ‘Dashaballa’.<\/p>\n
