India and Sri Lanka Enhance Cultural Relations Through Buddhist Heritage
India and Sri Lanka have enhanced their cultural ties through the launch of the SAMHiTA Project, aimed at preserving shared Buddhist heritage. The project was initiated at Colombo’s Gangaramaya Temple, marking it as the first Sri Lankan institution to collaborate on this initiative, which is supported by the India International Centre in New Delhi and funded by the Government of India. A memorandum of understanding signed in July facilitates the digitization of one hundred ancient manuscripts by local experts, with completion expected by the end of November. This effort not only safeguards significant historical knowledge but also highlights the deep-rooted Buddhist connections between the two nations.
