At which site in Namsai district will the Holy Relics of Shakyamuni Buddha be enshrined for public Darshan from 14 to 20 November 2026?
- A.Golden Pagoda
- B.Lower Gompa
- C.Mahabodhi Temple
- D.Tawang Monastery
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Golden Pagoda. After the public exposition at Bomdila ends, the Relics are to be accorded a ceremonial send-off on 14 November 2026 and carried onward to Namsai district, where they will be enshrined at the Golden Pagoda for public viewing from 14 to 20 November 2026. Option B, the Lower Gompa, is the wrong stage of the journey: that is the other name of the Thubchog Gatsel Ling Monastery at Bomdila, the venue the Relics are leaving rather than the one they are going to, and Darshan there runs only until 13 November 2026. Options C and D name famous Buddhist sites that have no part in this leg of the itinerary as announced. The only places the announcement names are the Lower Gompa at Bomdila, the Golden Pagoda at Namsai and the National Museum in New Delhi, to which the Relics return on 21 November 2026.
