Zehanpora Excavation Reveals Kashmir's Buddhist Past

Recently, important digging work happened in a place called Zehanpora in Jammu and Kashmir.

They found very old Buddhist things there, like stupas and other items from almost 2,000 years ago.

This shows that Kashmir was a very important place for Buddhism a long time ago.

The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, talked about this on a radio show.

He said that these findings show how Kashmir was a big part of Buddhist history.

There will also be a special event in Delhi to show some very old and important Buddhist relics that were found a long time ago.

This event is to remind everyone about the important teachings of Buddha and to keep these old things safe for everyone to see and learn from.
