Governor Laxman Prasad Acharya left for Mongolia on Friday late night to lead the Indian delegation attending a special exhibition of the sacred relics of Arhat Sariputra and Arhat Maudgalyayana, the two principal disciples of Lord Buddha.
The programme has been organized by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, as part of efforts to strengthen the longstanding civilizational and cultural ties between India and Mongolia.
The sacred relics, preserved at the historic Sanchi Stupa in Madhya Pradesh, are being taken to Mongolia for public display and veneration. The exhibition is expected to further deepen the spiritual and cultural bonds shared by the two countries.
Governor Acharya is scheduled to return to India on June 3, while the relics will remain in Mongolia until June 9.
