Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Ladakh to attend the first-ever international exposition of holy relics of Lord Buddha in India.
During his two-day visit, Shah will pay respect to the sacred relics of Lord Buddha on Buddha Purnima and lay the foundation stone for a 10 TLPD capacity dairy plant in Kargil.
The sacred Piprahwa relics of Buddha were brought to Leh in a special Indian Air Force aircraft and will be open for public veneration at Jivetsal from May 2 to 10.
The relics have gained renewed global significance in recent years, especially after a collection of associated gems and offerings was repatriated to India in July 2025.
