💨 Abstract

India has issued a legal notice to Sotheby's Hong Kong, demanding the immediate halt of an auction of sacred Buddhist relics, excavated from a site in northern India in 1898. The relics, which include bone fragments, caskets, and offerings, hold immense historical and spiritual significance, and were transferred to the Indian Museum in Kolkata in 1899.
