India - Buddha鈥檚 bowl claim
Print Edition
Indian archaeologists are being sent to Kabul to study a “begging bowl” said to have been used by Buddha in a first step aimed at bringing the artifact back to India, an official said.
The huge stone vessel, weighing nearly 400 kilograms, is currently displayed at the National Museum of Afghanistan and is regarded as an important relic in the Buddhist religion. The two experts will examine the piece after demands in the national parliament last year for the return of the bowl, which the state-run Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) believes belongs to India.
The move follows India’s attempts to reclaim other Indian artifacts from around the world.
