Devotees from Sri Lanka and international tourists gather at the Hunupitiya Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on February 5, 2026, to pay homage to the Sacred Devnimori Relics of Lord Buddha. Currently on their first-ever international exposition from India, the relics are displayed in a specialized airtight glass case.
