PM Mementos Auction: Opportunity to Own Rare Artifacts from Sikkim
Two unique artifacts from Sikkim have been put up for auction in the eighth edition of PM Mementos, with proceeds going to the Namami Gange project.
The eighth edition of 'PM Mementos,' organized by the Ministry of Culture, is providing citizens with an opportunity to connect with the country's diverse cultural heritage. This year's auction includes two distinct artifacts from Sikkim, showcasing the state's unique artistic legacy on a national level.
Among the items available for auction is a finely crafted brass statue of Lord Buddha, which was presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi by the Governor of Sikkim.
