A 2,000-year-old lost stupa, one of 19 built with Lord Buddha’s relics sent by Emperor Ashoka to China, has been restored with religious rites by an Indian monk in this remote Tibetan town.
A symbol of the advent of Buddhism from India to China, the renovated stupa and Ashoka pillar were consecrated by Gyalwang Drukpa, the spiritual head of Drukpa lineage of Buddhism based in Ladakh, on Tuesday in China's Qinghai province.
