Buddha’s Sacred Piprahwa Relics Return to India After 127 Years – What You Need to Know

🌸 After 127 years, the sacred relics of the Buddha from Piprahwa Stupa have returned to India.
Unearthed in 1898 by British archaeologist W. C. Peppé, these relics — crystal caskets and gemstones inscribed with ancient Brahmi — were once divided under colonial rule. Some were sent to museums, others gifted to Buddhist nations, and many lost to private hands.

When they resurfaced at a Hong Kong auction, India rose to the occasion. In a historic act of cultural reclamation, the government and Godrej Industries brought them home. Now enshrined in the National Museum, these relics reconnect the nation with the Enlightened One’s legacy — a timeless symbol of peace, unity, and spiritual heritage.
