A historic and deeply humbling moment for Tawang and the people of Arunachal Pradesh. Received the sacred relics of Lord Buddha, Shakyamuni, at Tawang Air Force Station today as they arrived from New Delhi. For Buddhist devotees across the world, these sacred relics represent a profound connection with Lord Buddha, inspiring faith, compassion, wisdom and the pursuit of inner peace.

The sacred relics of Lord Buddha, Shakyamuni, have arrived in Tawang from the National Museum, New Delhi. These revered relics originate from the ancient Piprahwa Stupa in present-day Siddharthnagar district of Uttar Pradesh, an archaeological site closely associated with ancient Kapilavastu, the homeland of the Shakya clan to which Lord Buddha belonged. It is an immense honour for Arunachal Pradesh to welcome these sacred relics to Tawang. May this historic occasion deepen our collective commitment to the timeless teachings of Lord Buddha on compassion, peace, wisdom and universal brotherhood. #HolyRelicsOfLordBuddha #BuddhaRelics #Tawang #ArunachalPradesh #Buddhism #LordBuddha

A historic and spiritually significant day for Arunachal Pradesh as the Holy Relics of Bhagwan Buddha arrived in our State today. On this auspicious occasion, I am deeply grateful to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji for his warm message and best wishes on the exposition of the sacred relics. His message recognises Arunachal Pradesh’s special place in India’s rich Buddhist heritage and the enduring contribution of Buddhist traditions to our country’s civilisational legacy. The exposition of the sacred Piprahwa Relics at Tawang, Bomdila and Namsai is a moment of immense pride and spiritual significance for our people. As the Hon’ble Prime Minister has rightly observed, the teachings of Bhagwan Buddha transcend geographical and cultural boundaries. His timeless message of peace, compassion and harmony continues to guide humanity. We are honoured to host this sacred exposition in Arunachal Pradesh. I warmly welcome devotees, scholars and visitors from across the country and the world to be part of this historic occasion. May the blessings and timeless wisdom of Bhagwan Buddha inspire peace, compassion and harmony across the world. #HolyRelicsOfBuddha #BuddhistHeritage #ArunachalPradesh #PeaceAndCompassion
