Public Exposition of Sacred Devnimori Relics Continues for Fifth Consecutive Day
February 09, Colombo (LNW): The public exposition of the revered Devnimori relics of Lord Buddha, brought to Sri Lanka from India, is continuing today (09) for a fifth straight day at the Gangaramaya Temple in Hunupitiya, Colombo.
The sacred display began on February 05, 2026 and has since attracted an outpouring of devotees from across the country. Temple officials reported especially large crowds yesterday (08), with worshippers gathering in significant numbers to pay homage and offer prayers.
The Devnimori relics were unearthed during archaeological excavations carried out in the 1960s at the ancient Devnimori site in the Indian state of Gujarat. Of exceptional historical and religious importance, the relics are being exhibited outside India for the first time, making the event a rare and momentous occasion for Buddhists.
Devotees will be able to venerate the relics continuously, day and night, with the exposition scheduled to remain open without interruption until 7.00 a.m. on February 11, 2026. Organisers have made special arrangements to accommodate the steady flow of visitors while maintaining religious observances and security.
