The Press Information Bureau of India said the exposition of the Holy Relics of Shakyamuni Buddha, organised by India's Ministry of Culture with the Government of Arunachal Pradesh, the International Buddhist Confederation and the National Museum in New Delhi, runs from October 31 to November 21, 2026, across Tawang, Bomdila and Namsai, giving devotees and the public an opportunity to pay homage.
Under the schedule, the relics were transported from Bomdila to Namsai on November 14, where an installation and inaugural ceremony was held at the Golden Pagoda, with public darshan continuing until November 20. The relics were earlier displayed at the Gaden Namgyal Lhatse Monastery in Tawang and the TGL Monastery in Bomdila.
The relics originate from Piprahwa in present-day Siddharthnagar district, Uttar Pradesh, and are normally preserved at the National Museum in New Delhi, to which they will return on November 21 via Tezu Airport.
