Sarnath Holds Grand Shobha Yatra for Buddha Relics on Kartik Purnima

Imagine a very special parade for Buddha's ancient belongings!

On a holiday called Kartik Purnima, thousands of people from different countries and parts of India came to a place called Sarnath.

This is where Buddha gave his first important teachings.

They saw a parade with a golden box holding Buddha's bone relics.

The box was on a decorated elephant, and people walked with monks, singing happy songs.

These relics are very special and are only shown on a couple of holidays each year.

Many people visit Sarnath now, and leaders say it's becoming a very important place for Buddhist travelers.
