Devotees Venerate Sacred Devnimori Buddha Relics At Gangaramaya Temple
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. The central green schist casket (pictured) features an ancient Brahmi inscription identifying the contents as the ''Dashabala Sharira'' or physical remains of the Buddha.
