Bond with Kashi is not about Government programmes or budgets. It is much deeper: PM Modi
I am clear- I don't want to do anything for myself. I am not here for that. With the blessings of Baba Bholenath I want to work for my country: PM
The future belongs to India. The world is taking note of India's economic strength: PM
India's progress lies in Jan Bhagidari: PM Modi

At 'Meri Kashi' book release event in Varanasi, PM Narendra Modi remarked that his bond with the city was not limited to government programmes or budgets but it was much deeper.

He recalled how when he had come to Kashi to file his nomination papers in 2014, the people of Varanasi were wondering what would happen ahead.

Shri Modi said that the people of Kashi had the right to ask him about the work done for the constituency. "Throughout the later part of 2013 and 2014 campaign I had said that I will leave no stone unturned to serve the people of India... I am clear, I don't want to do anything for myself. I am not here for that... With the blessings of Baba Bholenath I want to work for my country", he added.

The Prime Minister stated that the future belonged to India and the world was taking note of India's economic strength.

Shri Modi also appreciated the people of Varanasi for furthering the cleanliness movement. He noted how cleanliness had become a mass movement and urged people to collectively work towards development of the historic city.

PM to Inaugurate Grand International Exposition of Sacred Piprahwa Relics related to Bhagwan Buddha on 3rd January
January 01, 2026
Piprahwa Relics are among earliest and most historically significant relics directly connected to Bhagwan Buddha
Exposition titled “The Light & the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One” provides insights into the life of Bhagwan Buddha
Exposition showcases India’s enduring Buddhist heritage
Exposition brings together Repatriated Relics and Archaeological Treasures of Piprahwa after more than a century

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Grand International Exposition of Sacred Piprahwa Relics related to Bhagwan Buddha, titled “The Light & the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One”, on 3rd January, 2026 at around 11 AM at the Rai Pithora Cultural Complex, New Delhi.

The Exposition brings together, for the first time, the Piprahwa relics repatriated after more than a century with authentic relics and archaeological materials from Piprahwa that are preserved in the collections of the National Museum, New Delhi, and the Indian Museum, Kolkata.

Discovered in 1898, the Piprahwa relics hold a central place in the archaeological study of early Buddhism. These are among the earliest and most historically significant relic deposits directly connected to Bhagwan Buddha. Archaeological evidence associates the Piprahwa site with ancient Kapilavastu, widely identified as the place where Bhagwan Buddha spent his early life prior to renunciation.

The exposition highlights India’s deep and continuing civilizational link with the teachings of Bhagwan Buddha and reflects the Prime Minister’s commitment to preserve India’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage. The recent repatriation of these relics has been achieved through sustained government effort, institutional cooperation and innovative public-private partnership.

The exhibition is organised thematically. At its centre is a reconstructed interpretive model inspired by the Sanchi stupa, which brings together authentic relics from national collections and the repatriated gems. Other sections include Piprahwa Revisited, Vignettes of the Life of Buddha, Intangible in the Tangible: The Aesthetic Language of Buddhist Teachings, Expansion of Buddhist Art and Ideals Beyond Borders, and Repatriation of Cultural Artefacts: The Continuing Endeavour.

To enhance public understanding, the exposition is supported by a comprehensive audio-visual component, including immersive films, digital reconstructions, interpretive projections, and multimedia presentations. These elements provide accessible insights into the life of Bhagwan Buddha, the discovery of the Piprahwa relics, their movement across regions, and the artistic traditions associated with them.
